Easter Sunday 2026

They say a picture paints a thousand words and this one tells the story of how Jamie is able to get almost everyone together. What it doesn’t show is how much effort time and money she also puts in to make us all happy. A lamb roast with all the trimmings followed by cakes lovingly […]

Man flu ffs

Are you kidding me I am on Holiday I got two weeks off why now? It came on swiftly on Thursday afternoon and floored me for the rest of the day. A rough night followed and as I described yesterday I am not sure how I managed especially because of how I felt this morning […]

Silverstone & Oxford

With a rendezvous with Patty and Ian planned we set off for the Silverstone race circuit to visit the Museum which sounded like a great day out add on to that a walk around Oxford and look at the University was a brilliant way to spend the day with our friends. Unfortunately I went to […]

Proper Potter

I had lost motivation for the understairs storage, something I often do unfortunately, but I knew why with this project it was how tough drilling into the old brickwork was. Being off gave me the opportunity to get back to it and work out how to get the wall clad, little did I know that […]

The Date

Its telling that it was best of order for that last frame and I am proud of how you lads smashed em!Great 3 points against a […]

The Talk

For a few days, I’d known that Lincoln had a girlfriend, mainly because his mum had mentioned he was nervous about telling me. I wasn’t sure why it felt like such a big deal for him, but I also know that, unlike Jamie (who finds these conversations quite natural), not everyone finds it easy to […]

Me and ‘er

Reagan decided to attend Easter school to brush up her math skills hoping to improve her chances of a five in the subject. Lincoln was off to Winsford with a couple of friends to video a scene for a play they are creating so Jamie and me went for a walk up to Norman’s Wood […]

Lazy Sunday

It was nice to walk up to see me mum on a Sunday morning after Jamie and the kids left for church. Another slow start was not on the cards but me moving the clock in the bedroom forward an hour exacerbated Jamies morning. She went from having two hours before needing to be at […]

A day off

I had so many plans and still have but today I had a day off Jamie was away at MIT the kids did their own thing and apart from taking Billy of coarse I went to me shed sharpened a chisel which didn’t go well, very sharp but not square not sure why… Lost motivation […]
