Under spec’s the floor

Spent all day on getting the floor of the shed finished and it went well I got the moisture barrier done and added the plywood top but found that there was some flex in the plywood so will have to upgrade the floor before erecting the walls but it shouldn’t stop me I have enough […]

Bank Holiday DIY

With a load of raw materials to work on, a four day weekend and good weather forecast I am looking forward to spending the next few days indulging myself with a bit of shed building. I managed to make a start on the floor this afternoon and get a couple of sheets of insulation fitted […]

I’ve had a delivery…

A lazy kind of day partly because I was tired, it was raining and also I couldn’t do a great deal because I was waiting for my next delivery of wood to arrive. I took Reagan to horse riding at 9am and called at Screwfix on the way home but arrived back with no sign […]

Home safe & sound

The forecast said rain for this morning and rain it did, it was lovely first thing when I took Billy to the river for a walk before anyone else was awake but spots of rain began around 7:30 and continued until we had the tent and everything else in the car. Breakfast was Maccies on […]

Crabbing & home tugging us…

The company we keep when camping is very important to a good trip Sam & Andy Kerry & Steve plus their children are a great mix and really great to be around. This trip started on Friday night with the race to get to site setup then sit and relax but that I always find […]

Train rides & slate mines

After the coldest night I have spent in years we got up and slowly thawed out and after breakfast we decided to drive to Llanberis, a good desicion because there was something for everyone. A train ride along the lake with a stop for picturesque photos Eventually dropping us off at the cafe and gift […]

Midgies, cold, damp & sobriety.

I am sat in our tent in Wales we got to Snowdonia Parc Brewery campsite at about 7pm and spent 2 frantic hours setting up camp, next to our friends being eaten alive by midgies before sitting down surrounded by citronella candles to catch up with Sam Andy Kerry and Steve. At around 10:30 the […]

What did I learn?

Today I learned that camping is not my favourite thing to do, and packing the car to go is depressing. Tickets go on sale for Broncos v Jaguars on Tuesday 21st June at 10am Both children made me proud last night Reagan was so good even though it was her brothers night and Lincoln because […]

Young Voices

it was Lincoln’s turn to perform at Young Voices tonight, finally after being postponed twice because of covid, and it was fantastic. There are hundreds of children there but we were only interested in one and once we picked him out from the masses he was the only kid there lol although it helped that […]

Welcome home…

Lincoln arrived back at school aboard a coach full of his school friends today and we couldn’t wait to greet him and hear all about his first school residential. Reagan called to ask if she could go to the park straight after school with her friends which I immediately replied yes, just be home for […]
