Heck, it's been an age since I wrote on here, the time just flies by.  It's been a busy year though with site changes, moving servers, new baby (Called Jenna, she's lovely) moved house, converted the garage and all sorts of other things.

I'm excited by spring really getting on, summer starting to get a hold and the world getting really green, it seems like just a few days ago that the trees were still bare and now they're alive again with leaves popping out

Work and canoe and lots of missed blogging by Tony Comment (1)

Cor, it’s been ages since I wrote my blog, a fair bit’s happened although I doubt much of it is interesting to most people. We’re ramping up for the Moot at the moment, can’t believe that’s it’s next week, a whole year has flown by…It’s going to be great, there’s lots of stuff going on and it’s a great site. There’s been stacks of work going on in the background to get

Heck time flies by, it’s been an age since I’ve written anything in here, lots have gone on I know buy I’m getting old and it’s hard to remember J

We’ve just started the process of buying a house after selling our old one, although I think that I’m just being pulled along by my wife and kids as I was quite enjoying not having the responsibility of house

Childhood freedom by Tony Comment (2)

I was reading this article on the BBC site today and I also listened to Radio two earlier about kids not getting out like their parents did despite the statistics that kids are no more likely to get taken now than 30 years ago and far less likely to get run over.

 

It really made me think about the fantastic childhood I had and the freedom that came

Kids Fishing by Tony Comment (0)

Today I’ve taken Thorin, Rowan and my nephew and niece Harry and Cerys fly fishing, although it’s not actually me, I’ve been more the lift to the big lake.  There’s a few different schools around here that have fly fishing classes, my kids go each week and learn about fly tieing, casting etc and then each holiday they’re out for the day with the fly fishing teacher, I’ve just come along to help out and I’m sitting

Good Moot by Tony Comment (1)

My first chance to mention the Moot and how great it was to see old friends and make new ones. There were some great skill sharing going on which added a huge amount to what people got out of the event.

I can’t say that the weather was kind to us as it started raining on Sat and was still raining on Monday when we left, I suppose it’s fair to say that it could have been worse, some of the trees that came down in

A good day by Tony Comment (1)

Been another long day but it's been worth it.  The site is up and running now after being completely switched over from the old one and i've recieved some great feedback that's both encouraging and helpful, it's been great seeing hundreds of people on here all all having a great experience.

Tomorrow it's my boys' bithday and I think i'm as exited for him getting his new tarp and hammock as he would be f he knew, he's bound to want to sleep out in it

Now it is getting early by Tony Comment (0)

It is now 4am and the work on the new site has nearly finished for the night, go live has been moved to Sat due to some technical difficulties which i have to say is a right pain, although these things always happen.

The new site is looking good which is excellent, it has been a steady slog over the years but it is becoming what I first envisaged back in 2002, the site is going to be fantastic.

Right, time to go home I think, get some rest and get back to it tomorrow.

It is getting late by Tony Comment (2)

I'm here in the office working away on the site, boy it's hot at the moment! I've got the window open but there's no breeze.

Looking forward to the weekend as i'm hoping to get a night under the stars which will be fantastic.
