Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
This week saw the 150th Anniversary of the Barmouth Bridge. The town council were hosting a weekend of activities and events to celebrate the anniversary with the highlight being a themed laser and firework extravaganza centred on the harbour and bridge. The Machynlleth firework display and lantern parade, which we’ve being going to for the...

Games of Yesteryear I’m old enough to remember the first arcade games. Things like Pacman, Donkey Kong and Track and Field that first appeared in pubs, clubs and for me the Ice Rink in the 1980’s.

We were however expecting mud. I’ve also noticed that the last blog post was about last weeks cyclocross...
Another good days racing thanks to the Welsh Cyclocross Series. This weekend sand was the order of the day as we rode through the forest and out onto the sand dunes at Pembrey Country Park. I had stayed in the van overnight as I had been racing my mountain bike for 6 hours on Saturday...
