Eloise (& Brad) online Something to read on your coffee break!
General
Northampton v Bristol
Yesterday the Coles and the Selwoods had planned to meet up in Northampton to see the rugby, however due to illness the Coles were unable to attend. The blow was slightly softened by the fact that the match was on Sky Sports and Bristol won 14-8. (see BBC match report)
We are not having much [...]
Bryan 3 – Brad 1
In a further development of the rugby team rivalry between Bryan and Brad, there was a discovery early on Friday afternoon of a Saints sticker on Brad’s front bumper.
Initial findings suggest that this was put on the car the same time as the tax disc holder & air freshener.
For further information on this please see [...]
Clutter !!!
We all have some; that stuff that’s too good to throw out, or that might come in useful one day. I have a plan to try and de-clutter our house, whether it works or not is another question.
I recently came across a site called Freecycle. Freecycle groups match people who have things they want to get [...]
Bryan 2 – Brad 1
A couple of months ago, Brad did some work on Bryan’s car. So what you say; well Brad returned Bryan’s car with a Bristol Rugby sticker in the back window, (Bryan is a Northampton supporter). There was a strongly worded message left by on Brad’s voicemail once Bryan found it. Round 1 [...]
Geocaching – About
I thought that I should add a quick explanation of what geocaching is now that we are starting to find a few caches.
First of all you need a handheld GPS and the co-ordinates of where a ‘cache’ has been hidden. One of the best sites for this is Geocaching.com.
Geocaching is like a treasure hunt. Some [...]
Geocaching – Take 2
So on Friday we set off on another geocaching trip. This time we were off to Leigh Woods. The weather wasn’t too great, but it stayed dry. Bea enjoyed herself, running around while we were searching for the cache, walking backwards and forwards trying to get a clear satelite link under the trees.
We found it [...]
Geocaching – First attempt
Today we tried geocaching. Brad had received a GPS unit as a birthday present, so we thought we would give it a go.
We started with one along the Frome Valley Walkway as we know the area. We did make it a little harder as we left from home and not Winterbourne as suggested.
We found the [...]
Christmas decorations – too early?
One of our neighbours go to town every year with the Christmas decorations on his house.
This year he started putting the decorations up at the begining of November! It does normally take him a month to put them up as he only does it on the weekends, so fair enough.
I’m sure he doesn’t normally turn [...]
Chocolate making
It’s that time of year again, Christmas is approaching fast, so this weekend I started to make my traditional Christmas chocolates. This year, thanks to my chocolate making lesson on my hen weekend, the chocolates are looking a little more professional and I have some new recipes.
I am still taking requests, if you have any [...]

Congratulations Mullabrowns
I would just like to congratulate the Mulabrowns on winning the summer skittles league at the Rising Sun.
I believe they only lost 2 games all summer.

Bank Holiday Weekend
The weather stayed mostly dry this weekend, which was quite amazing considering it always seem to rain on a bank holiday.
We worked hard this weekend on the house. We have nearly finished redecorating the lounge diner. We would have finished but we ran out of paint on Sunday because one of the walls needed an [...]
Proper Camera Bag
I have just bought myself a proper camera bag for my Fuji S5500.
I have had the camera just over a year, but apart from buying a pouch for it I didn’t really want a proper camera bag, as they tend to be bulky and shout of I’m a tourist or I have an expensive camera [...]
Hotel Accomdation update
We have now reserved rooms at the Corus Hotel for both the Friday and Saturday of the wedding.
Please click here for further information.
Frampton Walk
Since the sun was shinning on saturday, we thought we would put our walking boots on grab the dog and go for a walk. Well I would have put my boots on but Brad had left them in his car, which was still in Bristol.
So with our walking stuff on and the sun in the [...]
Mother’s Day
Just a little reminder that its Mother’s Day this Sunday, and not last Sunday, as Stuart thought after receiving an reminder email from Interflora. Last week was apparently European Mother’s Day. Mum was really pleased with her chocolates, flowers and her card last week. I just want to know what he’s sending this week!!
If you [...]
