Pen Y Fan in the snow
Friday 16 January 2015
With a little snow this week at our house in Dursley, I was keen to head to the hills and see how much there was up high - and since I wanted to go high, I thought we may as well go all the way to the highest point of the Brecon Beacons, Pen Y Fan.

FaceOmeter 'Why Wait for Failure'
Sunday 2 November 2014

Castle Coombe, on the southern edge of the Cotswolds, has the reputation of being one of the prettiest villages in England
