I recently completed this 1000 piece puzzle. Made by Ravensburger, it cost me £10.99 on Amazon. I do really appreciate the quality you get with a Ravensburger puzzle, the pieces fit together really well and its very well made. The puzzle itself, whilst quite interesting took less than a week to complete so was not…
Asics Gel Venture 9
I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many pairs of running shoes, particularly when you go running every day as I do. So when I saw there was a sale on at Asics naturally I brought two new pairs. These are a pair of Asics Gel Venture 9 in Gris Blue/Deep Ocean….
Asics GEL-Trabuco Terra Running Shoes
I recently ordered myself some new running shoes as my current pair have done quite a few miles. These are Asics GEL-Trabuco Terra in Indigo Blue/Sandstorm. I was lucky enough to get them reduced in the sale but they are a great pair of shoes that I would pay full price for. I brought them…
Starry Night Over the Rhone Puzzle
I recently finished this puzzle, Starry Night Over the Rhone. I brought it on Amazon £12.99 a while ago. It’s a 1000 piece nice quality puzzle and fairly challenging with all the blues, green and yellow tones in the picture. It took me nearly 2 weeks to complete so provided a nice challenge.
Dragonfly in the Garden
I was lucky enough to get a picture of this lovely dragonfly in my garden the other day whilst it was resting on a branch. We get a lot of dragonflies in our garden but this is by far the biggest one I have seen this year. Google suggests its a Golden Ringed Dragonfly.
Apples and Blackberries
One of my favourite times of the year is when the cooking apples are ready for picking. This year just as we starting to pick the first apples there is a glut of blackberries available in the hedgerows in the local area. Taking advantage of the extra time we have over the Summer Holidays, we…

Purchased from Amazon for £10.99 I was expecting it to take me about a week to complete, however, it was easier than expected and only kept me busy for 2 days. It’s a nicely made puzzle, the pieces fit together really well and it has some…
New Puzzle Board
I used to do a lot of puzzles but since we got our kittens it’s impossible to work on one. They tend to steal the pieces and try to eat them. I have been looking at a solution to the problem for a while now and finally purchased this puzzle board. It’s a Porta Puzzle…
Sunset Puzzle
I recently completed this sunset puzzle. It only has 500 pieces but was fairly challenging. The bulk of the puzzle was completed in just 2 days but the black bits at the bottom had to be sorted by shape and took another week to complete. I must admit I did not enjoy this one and…
Bough Beech Reservoir
We recently visited Bough Beech reservoir after seeing it mentioned in the Kent Wildlife’s Trust handbook. The handbook mentioned a visitor centre but on driving around the area for a while we couldn’t find one so eventually parked at the side of the road looking onto the reservoir. The views across the reservoir were amazing…
