The airport x 2

Today Jamie Reagan and Lincoln were leaving for their Hungary mission trip but because the flight didn’t leave until 15:05 we didn’t need to leave the house until 11am so they take their time getting up and ready. Reagan was desperate to be an independent 16 year old unfortunately her mom couldn’t see why, but […]

Snowdon

Here is a more polished readable account of ‘Snowdon Conquered’ from 08/08/2026 Snowdon: Harder Than We Imagined It was harder than I had certainly imagined. All of us had moments during the day when we questioned whether we would actually make it to the top, but somehow, together, we all did. It was an early […]

All day was spent getting g ready while also working I knew I would be ready and I also knew Jamie would be too but the kids until very late on had no fire. Lincoln went skating leaving Reagan mom and me to get food, snacks and drinks for tomorrow’s hike up Snowdon.

Adding sound

The secondhand market for SonoS was surprising when I stumbled upon it yesterday seeing Play 3s for around £50 to £60. It made me think that instead of spending £200 on an Era100 I would get a far better upgrade buying 2 Play 3s for half the price! I already own one and have always […]

How paths cross

I have captained Steventons pool team for many years now and although there has been a steady turnover of players I have up to last season been fortunate to keep a nucleus of stalwart players. Last season was a long season and players signed but did not turn up on a Wednesday or began the […]
