Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Defibs in Borth and Ynyslas Borth and Ynyslas doesn’t have many publicly available defibrillators really. The nearest one to us is at the Visitor Centre in the dunes. There is now another in Ynyslas at the Cambrian Coast Caravan park. This one is available to the public if needed but is really for the caravan...
We’ve just got back from a quick trip to Bristol for my parents 51st Wedding Anniversary. Detours on the way to Bristol We had a few errands to run as well whilst away from West Wales First of these was a stop off near Llandeilo to collect some syrup to feed our bees. We’d missed...
After a day out in Bala followed by a luxurious night and large breakfast at Palé Hall Hotel, it was time for a day out in Llangollen. We hadn’t rally been to Llangollen or anywhere in this part of Wales before. I had ran nearby whilst running along the Offa’s Dyke though so recognised some...
Time for a Treat Anna and I decided it was time to treat ourselves with a trip to Palé Hall. We haven’t had the best of years thanks to a sudden and very unexpected heart attack. This has meant I haven’t quite been myself for a while. The various Coronavirus disruptions have meant that we...
Anna and I had a couple of days away as a treat. I’ll tell you more about why and where in the next post. If it’s possible to ‘start with a stop’ then that’s what we did. We started our treat with a stop at Bala Lake en route to our accommodation. We parked on...

The installers were really nice and remained cheerful throughout despite the wet and very windy weather! As far as we know it all...
The wonders of Facebook marketing managed to start advertising the Frontier X ECG device to me within hours of me returning home from hospital following my heart attack. Being something of a gadget hound and tech-lover my interest was of course piqued. Frontier X The Frontier X is a small, easy to use ECG device...
Sunday was a fairly non-descript day here. Cloudy, kind of grey with a gentle breeze and mild temperatures. A 5km PB I started the day with a 5km run. Building on my post heart attack 5km PB last week I started it at slightly better pace today and just kept it up. Last weeks ‘PB’...
I’m pleased to report that I have now started back to work following my recent Heart Attack. Recovery has been progressing well, if a little slower than I would like, but that’s just me being impatient. I’ve been continuing with the cardiac rehab classes, even if they weren’t quite what I was expecting. I have...
Just a quick photo to prove that the beach is still there. I haven’t been on or in the water for a while but I do get out for a walk along the sands most days and it was looking quite summery the other day. Most of the holidaymakers have gone now that the schools...
