Go to Top June 2023

6 June 2023
So much for my hope of regular updates! At Least I am providing a few new pages for 2023:

Go to Top April 2023

18 April 2023
I hope that I can begin keep the updates coming after a bit of a lapse. Today there's just one entry:

Go to Top November 2022

2 November 2022
This set of updates completes the record of the construction of the "Tree House" we had built to commemorate our wedding in 2015. Taking advantage of the time going through the old photographs, you'll also find a few further entries have been added to past years. Because of some ill health in recent months there's also been some delay in getting current material onto the site. Today's updates help fill in some of the gaps.

Go to Top September 2022

30 September 2022
This set of updates ensures that all the captions for the "Today's Image" section on the Home page include a link to a page that tells you more about the image. The following are new pages that needed to be created.
28 September 2022
Today it is announced that the last of the more than 270 posts on the old blog has been transferred to this site. These posts are now in the Gardens area. As with the Poor's Allotment area the Gardens area has had a similar technical change although, for the time being, there remains a single index where all entries are listed on a single page.
It should also be noted that a number of entries in the Gardens area have been split into multiple entries. For example, the one on the building of the cart shed, covered three years from planning in 2013 to final construction in 2015. Such posts have now been broken down so it is easier to see when each activity or event took place. Below are listed the most significant changes.
26 September 2022
Today more material has been transferred to this site from the old Blog. This group of pages completes the transfer of all the Lake & Grounds and Poor's Allotment posts from the old Blog. There's more material that the wildlife camera has captured that was never posted on the old blog, so there may be further entries posted in past years still to come.
As the Poor's Allotment area is likely to expand there's also been a technical change. Now each year has it's own index in similar fashion to the Lake & Grounds area of the site. The Poor's Allotment option on the main menu will now take you to the current year and you reach earlier years via the "Related Pages" options.
24 September 2022
Today more material has been transferred to this site from the old Blog. These complete the transfers from the old Blog to the Lake & Grounds area up to the end of March 2020.

19 September 2022
Today we complete the transfer to this site of the Lake & Grounds posts for all of 2016 and 2017 from the old blog. You'll realise that it wasn't just leading up to the wedding that entries got thinner on the ground.
18 September 2022
Today we complete the transfer to this site of the Lake & Grounds posts for June-December 2015 from the old blog. You'll note that entries got a lot thinner on the ground as we approached our wedding day on 12 September and beyond that date.
You will also find that the page 1 August 2015 -Decking Work Complete has been moved from the Gardens Area to the Lake & Grounds Area as that keeps all entries on the topic together.
15 September 2022
Summer was a busy time and updating the site got delayed. However, keeping the wildlife camera running was a priority and today a number of videos put together from the clips it provided have been uploaded.

The site is re-launched in its new form and currently has around 70 pages. Material is still in the process of being transferred from the old platform which contains over 250 pages, so don't expect all the new material to appear at the top of the various main area pages where the latest dates are.
