we wanted an allotment, but there is a 3 year waiting list in Telford for one.

I have started growing some of my own stuff in the garden, but theres not room to grow much (and the cats tend to eat any plants that grow). So far this year I have grown and harvested garlic and still have growing tomatos and runner beans. The kids have planted sunflowers as well, they are about 3/4 foot tall so far.

I have to take all my vacation in the summer so even if I don't go anywhere, it is nice to get away from work!

We do as much outdoors as we can, bike rides, trips to local parks and playgrounds with our 2 and 4 year old girls, do some hiking. Not at all beach people, honestly don't care if I never see the ocean again, I'd much rather be in the mountains.

Here are some pictures of some of the places we've ridden so far this summer.

2&4: Steamboat Ditch Trail, Reno, NV - we did this trail in the spring and early summer. Too Hot and barren to ride there right now. :)
1&3: Commemorative Emigrant Trail, Truckee, CA
5 & 6: Paige Meadows, Tahoe City, CA

Nice places!

Our warm weather starts October-ish, but since I work so much I don't have time to do much.


I try and make time to swim at our really nice outdoor pool, nothing better on a nice sunny day and gives me my colour for the year!

Aside from that I like to do a whole lot of sweet F all, beach when possible and when bothered for a nice surf.

I'm not particulary a summer person I find the heat hard work and get really bad prickly heat if it gets too hot.
I do enjoy sitting in the garden and going to the park with the kids etc.
