Cwtch Corner – the family website

  • Grooms on the move

    We are off to the lakes for some mountain biking at Whinlatter, Walking the Grizedale round and possibly pool jumping on the way home in Mungrisdale. This part of the A66 is so barren and wild .

  • Last Trip to the Beach?

    Maggie and I went to the beach last weekend. Down to the Cerberus at Black Rock. I always feel a little guilty when the kids go climbing on sandstone as they erosion is pretty bad but it does look cool and they have fun. There is talk in government circles about Melbourne going to Stage…

  • Happy Birthday Ruth – a pleasant surprise too!

  • The Map of Mathematics

    I found this interesting pic in my random searches on the Internet. I thought it summed up (hee hee) why Maths is important.

  • Saturday morning in Melbourne…

    So I’ve spent some time this morning playing around with the website to change the colours over from the default theme to something a little brighter…Dad did say that I was allowed to change the theme and said that he wasn’t bothered so I chose my bike colours of course. It’s been a disappointing few…

  • Hedgehog Watch (extended)

    We’ve suspected for some time that we’ve got an evening visitor, so with lockdown in full swing, and finding time on our hands, and trying to think of something new to do – we bought a wildlife camera. We didn’t expect such dramatic images quite so quickly, but here is a set of four nights…

  • The wildlife of Wilson’s Prom

    … not Ewan & Maggie!!!! Pete got a Trail Camera for his birthday and sent me the first results of using it after their trip to Wilson’s Prom last week. I’ve joined the clips together and edited them to reduce 2mins to 20secs using Shotcut, a FREE video-editor that runs on PCs, Macs and Linux…

  • Covid-19 Lockdown

    A collection of images, some taken for the U3A Photography Group (theme: Isolation), some taken for a seven-day twitter challenge others not. Enjoy … I expect to add a few more over the next few weeks, unless miraculously we’re allowed freedom of movement again and I can get out to photograph outside the garden. Here…

  • Framed …

    During Covid-Lockdown, the Cardiff U3A Photography Group has been prompting us to post an image to Flickr on a theme. One theme was Framed, but I rather liked all of these, so thought I’d share them all with your here …

  • A new day, a new project

    So I’ve been mulling over this issue for a long time. As the self-appointed family archivist, I’ve assembled the collection of artifacts, images and articles but have never settled on a way of handling them. It’s an issue I’ve pondered over for a long, long time. Such a long time in fact that the contents…
