I've been finding life a little tough recently. I'm not going to launch into the whos, whats, whys and wherefores, but I've not been feeling on top of the world for a little while and have been having some trouble with anxiety. So, when I'm able to write this blog telling you that today I … Continue reading Tonight, Matthew, I’m going to be Wonder Woman!

And so it was that we returned to the van in Chatel, in need of a new adventure. As luck would have it, a new adventure presented itself to us, in the form of a message from my friend Kat. She texted me to say that she was currently on holiday with a company called … Continue reading J’adore VTT (part 3)

Cwmcarn and the aftermath

I'll admit, … Continue reading Cwmcarn and the aftermath
