From country walks to life under Covid or the essential dog owners guide to managing elbow dysplasia, click on images below, or the menu at the top of the page, to explore our website
This is a diverse collection of blogs, photographs and experiences from our life at The Oakstump, our home on a country lane. Why “Oakstump”? When we moved here over 20 years ago a mature oak, one of several on the lane, dominated our home. Sadly all that remains now is the stump. Our home can no longer be called Oak Tree House. However you came across our site, I hope that you find something of interest or entertainment, or maybe something useful and informative, as you join me on the journey of developing a website without any experience, just for fun.
