Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Sorry, but it’s time to talk about Poo! I don’t know why I’m apologising really, 9 year old boys might find the topic amusing but as adults we should have grown out of that by now. Defecating, pooing, a number 2, taking a dump, having a sh*t, laying a cable, dropping the kids off at...
After torrential rains in the morning, Morgan and I were supposed to be going mountain biking on Saturday afternoon, but as the skies cleared and the sun came out Morgan couldn’t be bothered so instead I decided to go for a walk along the beach into Borth to get some bread and milk. It turned...
Seeing as I did a Hilly Hogmanay Half Marathon last year I had decided to do something similar this year. We were away in St David’s though so I couldn’t do the same route, nor could I do it on New Years Eve so instead I did it first thing on New Years Day. I...

Christmas Eve was a nice quiet one. The house was cleaned and ready for Santa, but there wasn;t much to do as far as that was concerned as we’d been getting on top of most things anyway. That meant we had a fairly quiet day. After a quick little spin on the turbo trainer I headed...
And here it is ready to be chopped up and eaten. I could add some more sparkles and such like but think we’ll stop there before we ruin it.
