Sony DSC-H400 Review
Let’s start off with full disclosures here. I’m not a photographer, but I like good photographic arrangements. I love vivid colours and I’d love to be able to do this one day. When we started blogging back in January 2016 all we had was our iPhone 5’s camera. Which worked out fine for snapping in well-lit…

Duck Leg and Red Currant and Wine Sauce
After a disastrous trip to the meat shop, I was forced to drag myself to Tesco. We really fancied Duck with come form of sauce and it was my challenge for the Saturday night. We weren’t falling for the trip our kids pulled last time either. “I don’t want any I don’t like it” followed…

Aberystwyth and Aberaeron – Day 2
During the night I had woken up boiling hot in the tent and even chucked off the sleeping bag at one point. So, I had a feeling that the good weather was set to continue. As predicted, the sun was beating down as I popped the kettle on the stove to make the morning brew. The plan…

Journey to Wales and Llangollen – Day 1
Emerging from the crazy two day turnaround since arriving back from Mallorca with its endless rounds of unpacking, washing, drying then the whole process of packing again, I was ready for some rest and relaxation over the coming days. My Bacardi and Fanta Lemon days by the Pollenca pool seemed like a long way away at…
