Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The Honey Harvest has begun. To be honest, we haven’t got much again this year, especially compared to some other local beekeepers – a friend of ours managed to extract 300lb of honey from her hives in just one valley and left every hive with 2 full supers as she got fed up of extracting...
I didn’t have a decent camera with me yesterday so I thought I’d enhance one of my photos of Bryn Cader Faner with the help of Photoshop. That’s better, more dramatic, atmospheric and befitting of a Bronze Age site.
I think that having hit 32 consecutive days on Saturday we are coming to the end of our geocaching streak. We went out on a high though with a 5 star mountain challenge. That’s 5 stars out of 5 stars in case you were wondering. As mentioned in a recent post about our walks up Cadair Idris and...
The schools might have gone back, but the weather has improved again and our geocaching streak continues. We’ve been geocaching for 30 days in a row now and have done some good caches during that time. We broke quite a few records last weekend and we’ve been trying to continue this streak even though Morgan is...
No doubt I’ve called a blog post exactly that before! Why would they decide to start swarming again at this time of year? The saying goes something like this: A swarm in May is worth a load of hay; a swarm in June is worth a silver spoon; but a swarm in July is not...
Mmmm, Home made chilli jam from homegrown chillies! I think Anna wants to make some green chilli jam next. I think we should do red, orange and green and make traffic light chilli jam. That would make nice Christmas presents. So those of you who get Christmas presents from us, you have been warned! Don’t...
Phew, I’ve think we’ve broken more geocaching records than ever in a single day today! Most caches in a single day Most caches in a month Most caches in a year Geostreak and a 500 cache milestone too This was all down to the Loop the loop series in the hills above Llywngwril by ‘Puffing...
With Wales in the grip of some proper autumnal weather we thought it wise not to head off too high into the hills today so instead planned a little ride from Pendam out to Nant y Moch, with a few geocaches to maintain our consectutive days geocaching record. It was blowing a hoolie up there...
Morgan and I had a lovely day in the Moelwyn Mountains on Thursday. We had our sights on the final feeder cache for the Gwyddno Mountain Challenge geocache. We needed to find it in order to get the final questions that would give us the last few numbers of the coordinates for the final cache. So,...
