Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Doesn’t time fly! It’s been over 10 years since we built our house, so about time that we finished off some of the interior decorating! For some reason we’ve just never quite got around to sanding down and varnishing the interior woodwork throughout various parts of the house. To be fair there are various reasons for...
I think I must have unusually robust ears as I seem to get through earphones for my iPod in no time at all. I’m forever replacing them so have recently resorted to buying cheap ones from the £1 shop as then it doesn’t matter if I break them. It was quite nice the other day...
Only a few weeks after the lunch of OSX Yosemite I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my iMac the other day. I usually leave it until at least the next incremental update just so that any major issues are ironed out, but reports seemed mainly good and I had the time to do...

I had however been getting back into it ready for the winter. Swimming My swimming rarely changes but I’ve been getting in the pool a couple...
If you haven’t already done so, then it’s time to think about baking your Christmas Cake. I know some people do it much earlier than this, but the half term holidays seems like a perfect time to do it. We have about 8 weeks until Christmas itself, which give me plenty of time to ‘feed’...
