As the blackening of the sieve may give away, last night popcorn in a sieve was massively accelerated by cooking in flames rather than over embers. Despite my fears to the contrary there was no burning or smokey flavour. Win!

It seems to be down at the moment.
Trying to contact you here as it seems the most private I have access to :-)

Thanks for the videos and I hope your site is a simple fix.

Saw a picture, thought it must be possible.

Saw a picture, thought it must be possible... turns out popcorn over an open fire is a doodle! Add a little disaster avoiding wire next time and its a winner.

Back at the end of summer the first night handing was a slightly chilly, but pretty comfy night. Having the backup of being able to bale out into the campervan want required though. The huge 4x3 tarp made a good base for us all over the weekend. Underquilt and a sleeping bag that isn't 25 years old and I'm golden :-)

New bike day!

New bike day!
Our lucky little 5 year old had moved up a size and now has possibly the most niche bike in the house now, no it isn't the only single speed, but it is the only belt drive...

Now I really want them to bring out their 20 inch bike with the hub gear for when she moved up again.

Cracking day for a damp, bike based adventure. Did somebody say something about mucky kids being happy kids? This big kid is happy :-)

Super smart bike anyone?

Super smart bike anyone? Doesn't seem too badly priced and specified, when if the "mesh network" seems a little hopeful. Doubt they would get that much traction.... And blind spot detectors? Not sure...

On hold with Three mobile about their home signal box... Took a while but could have been much worse, at least the DJ had taste ;-)
Oh, and it was a network fault of course...
