Family Time

Family time is the most important reset: time away from screens, work and constant notifications.

The things we do

What it looks like

The small repeated things that end up meaning the most.

Cosy family time at home

Spending Time Together

Away from screens, work and the noise of the day. Time with the people who matter most is the thing everything else is built around — and it never needs to be complicated to feel important.

Board game on the table

Board Games

Competitive in the best possible way. Someone always argues about the rules. Everyone always wants another round.

Yorkshire countryside walk

Getting Out in the Country

Fresh air, open space and a good walk. Living in North Yorkshire means some of the best countryside in England is right on the doorstep — and there is always a good pub at the end of a decent route.

Why I enjoy it

What matters most

Everything else on this site is something Brendan enjoys. Family time is something different — it is the reason the rest of it exists. North Yorkshire is the setting for all of it, and the best moments are rarely the planned ones. It is the evenings in, the walks with no real destination and the games that run on longer than anyone expected. The ordinary things that end up meaning the most.
