I’ve recently joined an evening class and discovered Yoga! It really does what it says on the tin and helps you to relax.  I can’t achieve many of the poses yet like the old hands but am mightily impressed with those that do. Am interested in the philosophy too, anyone else a yoga convert?

I love this time of year with the sun shining through the autumn leaves, attached pic was taken on a walk around Bath Spa University, looking towards Newton St Loe church

We had a lot of fun getting them home too! We strapped them into a trailer – got a few odd looks on the way back.

Westonbirt is quite magical at the moment. We enjoyed a lovely walk in Silk Wood through a carpet of bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones. His Nibs is pictured with one of our dogs Ozzie [Saluki Lurcher] following – Diesel our other dog was off chasing squirrels somewhere!

We’ve taken the plunge and booked to go on a Green Woodworking Workshop, hopefully to make a couple of garden chairs from coppiced hazel. Watch this space!

Have you ever wondered what happens to all the hours that go backwards and forwards each year? You know, every Spring & Autumn we obediently whizz the hands on our clocks forward and backwards and then the removed hour is whisked away into cyberspace!

Well… they’re saved up and then sent off to a cave in New Zealand!  A fiendishly clever peep there has a list of all those deserving souls who could do with an extra hour in their 24hr agenda now and again – and, if you’re really lucky he’ll zap one your way
