July 22, 2018

Sunrise at Tibbetts

April 15, 2018

Always nice to receive presents, some are ‘nice’ and others are ‘just what I wanted’. However this one (a christmas present fro my kids) was probably in the ‘if a well known beer brewer did presents’ category: A midweek Easter trip to Tibbetts.

Tibbetts, Kathleen and Mitakon

April 14, 2018

I cooked a meal tonight that was exactly the same recipe that I made a few days ago in the kitchen at Tibbetts. I wasn’t the same. Not just the cramped cooking area or the dim gas lights, it was the taste too.. It’s all down to mood. And that just what the Mitakon 35mm […]

“Its not a competition I know but ” what an inevitable cliché that is by the way.

The Met Office issued yellow snow warning and we wondered what we would do if we saw some yellow snow on Lundy. It tried to snow in the afternoon but nothing settled. Then, the next day, we awoke to a generous dump. The was a snow drift inside the front door and on the inside […]

Lundy Spring – Part One

March 6, 2018

The much anticipated trip back to the island was an adventure to say the least. There was snow-much going on due to the ‘beast from the east’ or storm Emma as she was also known; that the episode will be divided into four parts. This, the first one, is typically early spring, the cull is […]

Camping Lundy Pride

July 8, 2017

As temperatures soared around the longest day in June (#Joon17) in north Devon, it was too hot to work, too hot to sleep and too hot to deal with the crowds who has swarmed to the coast in search of some relief from the humid conditions. There was only one option – a last minute […]
