Cheddar Bikefest 2009
The Bedminster Road Riders attended their first competition this weekend, although the Cole brothers have attended more than their fair share of Cheddar events.
Sunday Cycle Ride
A few weeks a ago I bought a bike, but I haven’t been able to really go out on it.
I think I need to explain that I haven’t really been cycling since I learnt to drive, which is a few years ago. I wasn’t sure if I could still ride a bike, so I [...]

Easter Weekend
As with all good bank holiday weekends we indulged in a bit of DIY, but we did manage to avoid any trips to B&Q (thank god!). The results of the weekend are new lights in the kitchen (I can see now!) and a neater front garden. I also managed to find the study under all [...]
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 [...]
Happy New Year
Well another year is over. It has been an eventful & busy one for us, with the wedding and Brad (& Rob) taking over the garage.
We had a small party to see in the New Year, just 5 of us for dinner (Myself, Brad, Ali, Mouldy & Steve) with Trudi joining us later.
There was much food [...]
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 Tree Hunting
This weekend we partipated in a Cole family tradition – Christmas Tree Hunting. This does not involve a trip down B&Q. We all (this year 17 of us and 2 dogs) met early on Sunday morning at Fountain Forestry in Brockley Coombe, to track down the perfect Christmas tree and chop it down. The weather was [...]
Twickenham
Sunday I went to my first international rugby match at Twickenham; England v New Zealand.
Unfortuately England didn’t win, but we both had a good time.
After the match there was “music & firework extravaganza” to celebrate the opening of the south stand and bonfire night. This was 2 songs from Girls Aloud (badly mimmed [...]

Summer’s Evening & Shakespeare
This was our third outing to Shakespeare this year. This time a Midsummer’s Night Dream performed in the gardens of Berkeley Castle.
So Brad, myself, Ali, Liz & Mouldy, packed up a picnic and a couple of bottles of wine and headed to Gloucestershire on Sunday Evening. The weather was perfect, we sat in the last of [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Snowboarding in Wales
We thought we were going to have a relaxing weekend, that was until Alan phoned us on Friday night. Wales has had a load of snow did we want to go snowboarding?
Well why not? So we set off bright and early towards West Wales. Got there about 12ish. Small trek up a hill, and time [...]
