That's the question we intend to answer. This blog is a chronicle of the adventures of keeping our Internet business and family life running while on the road.

Hope that puts it in perspective for Max and Mason. We regularly have ducks visit our garden, bang their beaks on the windows demanding something to eat and sometimes, just sometimes, they bring their little fluffy babies. Once we saw a mother duck leading her babies down the road, and the last duckling slipped down a drain. I was distraught. But a couple of young men stopped, took a crowbar from the boot of their car (yes, you might ask why they had such a tool available) took the drain cover off and rescued the duckling. And off he waddled to catch up with his Mum.
