Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I guess to some people that title will mean absolutely nothing. So for them here’s an explanation of each term. Blurb Blurb is a company that allows you to publish and print books. We’ve been using it for a while now to print our weblog (the one that you are currently reading) and the results...
I’ve just written a post containing a long term review of the iPad now that we’ve lived with it for almost a year, so I thought I’d also write some thoughts on the recent upgrade to iOS5. iOS5 has some fundamental changes over the previous operating system and it did promise to address some of the...
Well, it’s been getting on for a year since I’ve had my iPad, so, was it a flash in the pan that kept me amused last Christmas or has it become an essential part of my life? And, has the recent release of iOS5 made any difference? Intimate and Sociable Well, the first question is...
Saturday was an absolutely glorious autumn day. I did manage to spend some time outdoors, doing some gardening and maintenance on the water feature, but also spent a few hours indoors at the ABKA Honey Show. I was therefore dying to get out in the sunshine and ride my bike so decided to go to...
Another day and yet more wind, and better still, the sun was shining. Needless to say I went for a windsurf here in West Wales and had a nice little session. I didn’t stay out long though and today for a change I thought I’d share some of the ‘not so good bits’, the crashes...

I’m not really into all of the intricacies and nit-picking of showing things so the relaxed atmosphere was nice to see....
It was another wild and windy day here in West Wales, so just a short windsurf session for me today as I was a little tired after a long mountain bike ride yesterday and the conditions weren’t exactly easy. I walked over to the beach with my kit and met Tom and Sam there. I...
This post is especially for Graham as he wanted me to post the route we did the other evening on our night ride. It may sound odd, but now that the days are shorter and the nights longer and colder, there seems to be renewed interest in our Mountain Bike Night Rides that we do...
During the recent winds you’d have been forgiven for thinking that there were no bees at all in the hives at the bottom of the garden. Wind, rain and bees don’t really mix so they were all hiding away in their hives and sitting out the storm. As soon as the winds drop though they...
