june averages

rainfall is up.  my blogs are down.  f*cebook numbers are rising (although mrs hope and continue to maintain a luddite attitude towards it and make do with just our blogs).

we're off to snowdonia this weekend with our housegroup - risking inclement weather, although i hope this risk is balanced against the log fire that the cottage boasts.  so it'll be your typical summer weekend break: board games in the lounge as the rain comes down outside.

your local bv website, now available in lime green...

yep, catch it while it's hot folks (and proving you don't have to be on f*cebook to get the latest news), 'cos the bv website has just relaunched in attractive new plumage.

huge thanks to mark and kenny (and matt).

some pics to give you an idea of what we ate and drank in ukraine: fine coffee, dried salted fish, and raw quail eggs (with a little dash of salt).
