This weekend we went to visit my parents for a couple of days. It was Geordan’s birthday so we did something different and went to see the maize maze in Whitminster designed by Adrian Fisher. It’s a great afternoon out for the kids and it takes about an hour and a half to go around… Continue reading Maize maze – Whitminster
Reading: Nightlord by Garon Whited
I’ve not long started reading Nightlord by Garon Whited. It’s a vampire story set in the present day and written in the form of a diary with the days forming each chapter.

I guess it’ll take me… Continue reading Blog software upgraded
Flat tyre
I had my first completely flat tyre yesterday and had to swap it for the spare. In the past it’s always been a slow puncture and I’d been able to get to the petrol station to pump it up again or to the garage to get it replaced before it got completely flat. It took… Continue reading Flat tyre
