“Christmas at Kew” – 06/01/24
Happy New Year! I realise it’s in no way Christmas any more – although Eva tells me that “Fishmas” carries on until February – but yesterday we went for one last shot of Christmas joy before settling into dreary January. … Continue reading
“Delight” – 24/11/23
As is becoming traditional in November, I’ve taken a week off to celebrate being so bad at managing my annual leave that I have to take it in November. Coincidentally, Eva had an inset day today so it seemed like … Continue reading
I Just Want to Tell You How I’m Feeling…..

BBC Earth Experience – 08/08/23
Ever wondered what it would be like to visit the Planet Earth? Well, now you can find out but be warned – you have to go to West Brompton first and that’s as tricky to get to as Mercury. Which … Continue reading
Oxygen Freejumping – 05/07/23
I’ve been blogging like a demon recently. Maybe because after a week of the school holidays my brain will be so sludgy that I can no longer form words beyond….”GIVEMECOFFFFFEEEEE”. But I have something to tell you about and, unlike … Continue reading
