Gutted :-( Bray spent ages writing an epic (and awesome) journal for today then the site went funny and lost it. Not cool. This will unfortunately be an abbreviated version...all inspiration now gone. Normal start...Roni up early and Bray slept ... Read more >

It's after 1AM and we just got in the door - unheard of! We are not letting our nana-ness own us, at least for tonight! We kept dry and comfy in our wee mushroom house last night - despite quite heavy rain! Nice. Got up and had breakfast at our place ... Read more >
