Ripon Car Boot Sale
The day actually started with another visit to Ripon Canal, where not for the first time, I saw a pike, as well as lots of other small fish. The pike itself was a small one but I’ve only walked there three or four times… and I’ve twice seen a pike! This was despite the waterContinue reading “Ripon Car Boot Sale”
Frog City/Newt Central
The seasonably cold and generally miserable weather has, for the most part, limited amphibian activity… or sightings at least. When the weather finally turned however, the array of amphibians rose to the surface to bask in the sun! I counted nine frogs, which is particularly prominent for our pond. The newts were also making theirContinue reading “Frog City/Newt Central”
Garden Camp Two: New (And Old) Gear!
You can find details of my first garden camp here… https://planetpaul.blog/2021/05/22/garden-camping/ I’ve developed an insatiable yearning to go camping. I’ve done a bit in the past but not since having children. My Vango F10 Helium 200 (An old version of a Nevis I think) can’t really handle four people and my eldest daughter’s additional needsContinue reading “Garden Camp Two: New (And Old) Gear!”

It’s been over two months since I caught up with modern technology and got a pedometer!

That’s an average of 6.90 miles per day. My ten-hour Yorkshire Three Peaks bootContinue reading “Pedometer Diaries: Chapter Two”

Though I sat in some sort of moving contraption and my wife went on aContinue reading “Les Machines de L’ile”

Ikich Coffee Grinder
It grinds coffee… thank you and goodbye! It grinds coffee in less time and with far less annoyance to my wife than my old manual coffee grinder did! At the risk of not bothering to check, I think that I got it from the South American rainforest and that it probably cost about £20. It’sContinue reading “Ikich Coffee Grinder”
