Divorcing a mountain bike enthusiast 10 years ago I thought I was able to hang up cycling shorts for good. Seems this isn’t so, when a kind friend offered me their old bike in ear shot of my daughter. To my surprise she got all enthusiastic and excited about her and I on bike ride together. I don’t share her love of horses so I did think it could provide a nice summery thing to do together, but in my head all I could think of was the paid and the wobbling. Rather less unenthusiastically I ... VIEW POST

What vegetable plant is this?
Today wasn’t very productive in the garden. I trying to keep out of the way today whilst the builders were fitting new fascias and guttering and trying their very best to get mess everywhere and the bless them they managed both.

And we won’t talk about my bingo wings. ... VIEW POST
Seriously, Exercise Bikes for Kids ?

Having a look online the other day I found nice shiny super doper exercise bikes and amongst them was an exercise bike for children. ... VIEW POST
The Dreaded Summer Holidays
It's raining here in Cornwall but then it always rains in Cornwall. It's not just a quick shower and then sunshine, oh no we have constant all day rain. I am sure we get more rain then we use to when I was a kid. Of course it's probably just gearing up for the summer holidays in a few weeks time. The 6 weeks of the year when it is guaranteed to rain 24/7. The 6 weeks that can turn any sane adult into a nervous wreck. One of my reasons for going self employed was to spend summer holidays with the ... VIEW POST
