Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’ve just noticed that as my phone died during my run in the Ceredigion Hills on Saturday, it did manage to take one last photo. So here it is, my view looking SW over the Ceredigion Hills from the summit of Moel y Llyn. Ceredigion Hills
Anna was working on Saturday as it was an Open Day at the University, so that mean that for the third week in a row I was unable to continue with my Coast Path Run project. Someone had to be at home to look after Morgan, but we did decide that it would be OK...
I posted a couple of months ago about the new Advanced Running Dynamics from Garmin. I essentially said that whilst the new metrics such as Vertical Ratio and Ground Contact Time Balance were interesting in their own right, there wasn’t really much that one could use the information for. The Run Dynamics metrics might tell...
After all of the Timelapse photography with our new drive being built I thought I’d try some of a sunset. We do get amazing sunsets here so why not try to record some and share them with the world. Sunday was a gorgeous day and after a hectic weekend we finally had a bit of...
It was a little difficult to fit my usual weekend activities in this weekend but we managed it. Friday was a manic day thanks to the Eisteddfod that Morgan was playing in. Saturday was just as frantic as it was Morgan’s laser tag birthday party. Jay, Charlie and Jack were visiting for the weekend too....
As Morgan’s birthday fell on a school day this year, we had his party at the weekend. He had decided he wanted to do laser tag in the woods so we were all booked up for 2pm on Saturday. Everything was planned and Morgan and 10 friends would meet in the woods ready to run...

We all therefore went into school and work for a few hours on Friday morning and then headed off in the car to Theatre Felinfach, about an hours...
Morgan’s birthday fell on a school day this year, so he’s not having his party until the weekend. We still went out for a birthday dinner with him though and he chose the funky pizza restaurant Baravin in Aberystwyth. We booked an early 5pm table and wandered along the prom beforehand. The new bandstand is...
It’s still busy at work for us so we haven’t been able to be here whilst the workmen are in creating our new drive. It’s all going well though and after a few minor alterations and final preparations things are now ready for the tarmac. The timelapse video starts today with the setting of the...
Day 5 of our drive transformation and the heavy machinery was out in force. Once again we couldn’t be there as we were at work, but we left salted caramel chocolate brownies out for the workmen and headed off to work. It turned out to be a lovely sunny day for the workmen, if a little...
