This past weekend in Stratford Upon Avon I toyed with the idea of documenting our time in the town in cups of tea. We drank a lot of it. I drink a lot of it generally and this weekend was no exception. I get so much from my various daily cuppas that goes far beyond it just being a drink. And the tea I have shared with other people
If you don’t know about Trolley Bags, you really should. They are one of those inventions that make me kick myself and wonder why I didn’t invent them. The idea is very simple. Four bags, that stick together with velcro, the perfect size to sit in a supermarket trolley. Available in two sizes to fit either a shallow trolley or a deeper one. You simply
Given how much we hear about Jordan on the news at the moment you might be forgiven for thinking it is not the best place for a holiday. After all, I have just come back from a few days visiting a refugee camp there and all my photos show city scapes or endless miles of desert. But there is so much more to Jordan than just that.
And in the grand scheme of things five miles might not sound a lot. Eddie Izzard for instance ran ten times that in a day this week, having run 25 marathons over the previous twenty five days. The man is a machine. A hero. A legend. Which really makes our 5 miles nothing in comparison. But for me it was quite the challenge. Let’s face
the anatomy of a desk The joy of working from home is you can work from anywhere. Bed. The garden. The local coffee shop when you get bored. The kitchen table. The corner of the dining room. Or a room you call your office. You might not even have a desk to work on, I know that I am very lucky to have one that is just mine,
Seeing there was an exhibition of watercolours from a local artist on display there made Mr B pick the Aldershot Military Museum as our destination for this week’s Saturday afternoon mooch. To say it was an exhibition was a bit of stretch since there were only about ten pictures but it was lovely to see 19th century paintings from the local area that we are now going to investigate
Cavities, gum disease, stained teeth and other more serious dental problems are all something that most of us want to avoid. But in order to avoid these issues, it’s vital to have a good oral hygiene routine in place. Taking good care of your teeth doesn’t only improve their appearance, it also helps to minimize your risk of issues such as gum disease, plaque, cavities, abscesses and even losing teeth.
It’s today, International Women’s Day 2016. I am sure there will be lots of campaigning going on today. As there should be of course, possibly some of it being about gender equality. As is right. I guess. I don’t actually want to be equal to men if I am honest. I like that Mr B holds doors open for me, that he lets me get into a
That pic up there is our patio. Was our patio. Last year I was picked to be one of Karcher‘s “Super Bloggers” (I think my name must have been included on the list in some kind of clerical error) and throughout the year we were the lucky recipients of five different cleaning machines. Everything from the hand held window vac to the beast that is the patio cleaner. Fast
In my defence I had been awake for 37 hours when I made this purchase. And in the three days prior to that point I had only had about 14 hours sleep. So when I saw the silver bag in the foodie shop at Duty Free in Amman airport I could be forgiven for thinking it was coffee, right? It even had a lady on the front of the packet
Taking time out to watch the birds I need to explain my un-authorised absences over the past few weeks first of all. For the past month I have been suffering from “cluster headaches”. A right royal pain in the arse head which are a bit like an ice cream brain freeze, eight or ten times a day and last about half an hour, well for me they are.
When asked by a group of bloggers at Britmums how you get into travel writing, Simon Calder, Travel Editor for the Independent replied: Start in your own back yard In our “back yard” is Fleet Pond. Just half a mile from our front door it is the largest freshwater lake in Hampshire, covering 52 acres. The total area of the nature reserve that it is in though is over
