Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Weekends are always busy for us and the past weekend was no exception. Saturday was packed full of Christmas festivities for the Scouts. Christmas Charities Fete It started with the annual Christmas charities fete in the Community Hall in Borth. The Scouts were running the Santa’s Grotto, the kitchen, a big raffle, the tombola, a...
Christmas seems to have come a little early for us with a host of new gadgets this weekend. New Car and New Roofrack OK, this wasn’t this weekend, but I’ve got a new car – I’ll write a full post about this story soon but I’ve got a new (to me) Vauxhall Meriva and therefore needed a...
So, Alan treated me to a cheesemaking course at River Cottage for my birthday. I’m not really sure how we decided on cheesemaking but I fancied a cookery course and I think we thought it would be nice to do some something completely different rather than baking bread or cakes. We did some research and...
I missed round 9 of the Welsh Cyclo-cross league last weekend as we were away in Devon. From what I saw though it was an extremely cold, very muddy and showy affair – just what I was expecting from Cyclo-cross really. By contrast round 10 in Pembrey, Cross by the Sea, was clear and sunny...
Hooray, a new design on my toes. Hope you like them.
We don’t always buy Morgan’s school photos – it’s not as though we don’t have our own photos of him after all, but we did get this years as it was his first in secondary school and quite a nice photo too.
As you can tell from the title, we had a busy day lined up for Saturday, and the title only tells the half of it. I can’t even remember what I did first thing in the morning, but I had a cold, was bunged up and felt terrible so kept myself dosed up with Day Nurse....
I had hoped that Anna would have blogged about her Cheesemaking course by now so that I could have linked to it from this post. She hasn’t yet so I’ll just have to post this without the link and add that later. I’d bought her a day long cheese-making course at Hugh Fearnley Whittingstalls River Cottage HQ...
I had a bit of a change to my usual Wales Coast Path Run this week. We were down on the South Coast so that Anna could attend a River Cottage HQ cheese-making course that I’d bought her for her birthday. So, while she was at that all day on Sunday I decided to run along the coast...
Yep, that’s right, it wasn’t an illusion. That person that people saw in the swimming pool on Thursday morning was indeed me! It was my first time swimming since the day after Boxing Day last year – all thanks to a shoulder injury that turned out to be osteo-arthritis. What’s more, I managed to complete...
