As the weather is becoming little colder at ends of the day and damper too – this weekend have emptied our small tunnel and wooden greenhouse of tomato plants and washed down the floor and glass to try and drive away resident small spiders and snails looking for somewhere nice to overwinter. im sure they’ll […]

La Mairie – Saints En Puisaye

Thinking about summer, we stayed in small French town on our way to Switzerland. Somewhere on the east side of France. We arrived very late as struggled to find the campsite but did find a lovely place to eat and very unsuccessful putting up our tent on rock hard ground. There was some cussing and […]

Beech nuts

we were sitting underneath a big beech tree for shade and heard the beech nuts dropping faster and faster and first thought the heat but the beech nuts came showering down faster and faster, pinging on the roof almost as if someone was aiming them and reallised when looked at the nuts on the ground […]

When we got lost in Zeeland we followed a motorbiker to an incredibly long tunnel – 6.6 kms under the Islands. The light and green fields in Holland was beautiful but because […]

Despite their bad press – when we encouraged hornets inside […]

Roundstone Harbour – Connemara

In Connemara With eyes all untroubled she laughs as she passes, Bending beneath the creel with the seaweed brown, Till evening with pearl dew dims the shining grasses And night lit with dreamlight enfolds the sleepy town. Then she will wander, her heart all a laughter, Tracking the dream star that lights the purple gloom. […]

Treading the Line

Thinking about morals and ethics is a can of worms. Most of us, tread the line where what we aim for isn’t always what we achieve and no one is any the wiser except us and maybe people who know us. But is it ok?

Red Cabbage

This is simple ‘hand down’ recipe, you probably need to be brought up on to look forward to eating. Probably tastes best, second time you cook it after storing in fridge or freezer – reheating with some extra butter. Eats best with Knodles and Goulash. Long time since eaten meat but this dish is very […]
