Apologies for absence!
I have been gone too long! I apologise! Sincerely! The reasons are complex and many. Too boring for details. I am back and hope to be more regular from now on! 🙂

One of the (many!) problems with having moved house as often as we have (seven times in ten years) is that we’ve gotten pretty good at living and therefore moving, with not a lot of stuff. This may not seem like a problem, but it means we lack a lot…
Potteric Carr
The Summer Holidays is upon us and although we are totally happy to stay home and relax, there is always a pressure to “do things” with the kids! As we were “passing through” we stopped for a visit to Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s Potteric Carr Nature Reserve. As it is right next to the M18 it …

Too many balls....and so little time
