a weblog with an allotment attached
25 March 2008
We’re back now from our holiday and trying to face the sordid realities of shrinking bank balances, full email inboxes and imminent work deadlines.
Paris was wonderful, if chilly. Actually, at times the wind was cold enough that it threatened to remove rather important parts of one’s anatomy if not adequately contained beneath sufficient layers of […]

It seems as though we’ve been away for ages, doesn’t it? Well, we have been away, but not all of that time has been spent enjoying the black stuff and the craic. We had a lovely, relaxing time in Ireland, walking (strolling) on beaches in warm sunshine and tiring ourselves out with all […]

Our allotment lies neglected once more while we enjoy the sunshine here in County Waterford with my Mum. I have to say, I don’t feel remotely guilty. I’m desperately in need of some relaxation so coastal walks in lovely weather with occasional stops for nice food and a glass of Guinness is just exactly […]

Tomorrow we gird our loins and visit the allotment.
In the meantime, I have uploaded our holiday photos here so you can finally […]

Back again! Since I wrote last we have cycled ridiculously huge distances (around 25km yesterday in stupid heat); we’ve sweated gallons (most of it during our cycle trip yesterday!); we got a bit sunburnt (in spite of lashings of factor 25 sun cream); we’ve visited a 7,000 year old frozen corpse called Otzi; been […]

A brief message as we take refuge from the 40° heat in Trento.
We are staying in the wonderful Agritur La Decima, where our hosts Elena and Giuseppe could not be more helpful or friendly. The plan with this holiday was to stay in the mountains because we thought it would be a bit cooler […]
