Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
So busy here at the moment that’s there’s simply no time for blogging. So, here’s a few photos from our recent pre-Christmas family visit to Gloucestershire. After a quick visit to Ikea on the way there, we spent most of Saturday morning shopping, then had a Christmas crafts afternoon with the family followed by a party dinner. I...
I got a bit carried away on my ‘long run’ on Sunday. I went just over 14 miles in the end, the furthest I’ve ever run. It didn’t feel too bad either and was generally just under 8min/mile pace, except for the one big climb which was quite slow and the slippery descent afterwards which was even slower. Not...

We’ve also been forwarded some news from Ceredigion County Council about...
