  • First Swallow of Summer

    Went out for a run this evening and I spotted my first swallow of the summer – just by brawlings farm. I think there were two of them. Anyway, enjoyable run, went over the fields to the Dumb Bell, felt great then was a bit of a labour on the way back. Only a couple…

  • Jamie’s Birthday, Gardening, Chalfont St Giles Picnic

    We had an absolutely fabulous weekend kicked off with Jamie’s family birthday party. The Birger’s and Tomlinson’s popped round to celebrate. R & J are always thrilled to William and Olivia and build lots of lego toys together. read more

  • Drinking, hockey euphoria and another tooth

    What a week – I’ve been absolutely flat out with work and play. My objective for the week was to install a new server in c4u and have Sage installed and all linked in with Actinic and thus (eventually having live stock checking). I bought the server, but I’m afraid it took me too long…

As you can see a disposable bar-b-q was burning brightly with chicken kebabs next to the garden rockery and the beautiful Cherry Blossom on the tree at the bottom…

    Very quiet weekend this weekend after the busy previous two. I was a last minute call up to the 2nd XI on Friday evening, a mad dash to Milton Keynes for a 2pm push back after Sarah had finished her game and returned at 12.30. It was my first game for the 2’s – just…

  • Top Front Tooth

    After weeks of wobbling, grimacing and non apple eating, the top baby tooth has finally wobbled free. It happened last week at 8.30 – the lengths they go to for delaying tactics is very impressive these days. The bottom two have already fallen out last year and grown through – the other front one is…

  • Cup Cake Boxes / Packaging

    Whilst I had the giant photo booth at home, I did some photos for Cater For You which is unusual these days as Mark normally does them. However, we bought some cup cakes from the village to show off our new Cup Cake Boxes which we’ve brought in by the pallet load. read more

  • Grand Union Canal / Ash & Debs

    No hockey this weekend, so my side may not have lost – well they probably did as most of them did loose! Sarah played and won – though their big game is this weekend again the run away leaders. read more
