Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Saturday turned out to be a lovely day here so we had some summer fun at home. My parents were here and Morgan had a friends staying over. We started the day with some fun on the beach. Morgan and James were out playing on the SUP while I paddled on my surf ski. My...
Beer Subscription – I can’t decide which I like best! To be honest, I ‘like’ all of them but have been trying to work out which is the best value for money and best all round package. A beer subscriptions work in a similar way to any other subscription and how wine clubs have operated...

Check out these Crazy Caterpillars. This leaf is obviously very tasty. There were no caterpillars elsewhere on the tree, they were just all on this single leaf!

I’ve managed to get out and do a little more surf ski practice. My last post about my new surf ski said “Just how many ways can we fall off a surf ski? More ways than there are to stay on one it would seem.” Well, just to balance that out, here’s a short video...
More beach fun after school at Borth. New Flip Flops, New Surf Ski, New Paddles, Super Sunny Beach, Crazy Warm Waters. If only all Tuesdays were like this. A little more practice on my ski.
