Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Despite the high winds and very autumnal weather we’re having, the garden is still producing for us. The herbs are all still doing well and so is the veg. We dug up our last crop of potatoes recently and have been gradually munching our way through the beetroots. There are some onions that look just...
I’m having a bit of a dilemma here. I’ve been using MYOB Business Basics for many years as my accounting package of choice on my Mac. I wrote a blog post about it back in April 2006 (Mac Accounting Software) and started using the software soon afterwards. Since then it has been working well and...
After our Stop Motion attempts with Lego, Morgan has been chomping at the bit to do some more animation. He could do it himself, but likes a bit of help from me so finding time isn’t always easy and setting up a decent storyboard and all the tools and toys needed to do it takes...
Anna’s old Nissan Micra has gone, and has been replaced with a nice new (to us) Honda Jazz. We didn’t take months to decide on a car either this time. Anna decided one day that it was time for a new one – her old one was very old and falling apart. She then popped...
Summer didn’t hang around long this year! September arrived and so did Autumn, and with it came the winds. Last week was windy everyday, 30-40 knots all day everyday in fact, so I obviously went windsurfing a few times and blew away some cobwebs.The weekend was set to be a good one too with wind...
Well, I had a busy day yesterday and despite initial reports I did actually do some work. In fact I did a bit first thing in the morning along with some housework, but as the wind was once again blowing a hoolie I was on the beach rigging up my windsurfing kit by about 8:30am....
It’s been absolutely ages since I went windsurfing. The lack of wind, weekends away and torn ankle ligaments mean that the last time I was out on the water was May 29th – That’s over 3 months and must be my longest period without a sail for at least a decade! Thankfully I put an...
I competed in the Shrewsbury Triathlon yesterday and had a great day out. This was the first time that the  Shrewsbury Triathlon Club (Sy TRI) had organised the event, but they had thought of everything. They had a good setting for it, good swim, bike and run routes and from my point of view everything...
Now that we’ve taken the honey off our bees, it’s time to give something back. I guess we’ve been giving lots back to the bees all along simply by having them and trying to nurture them in our back garden, but the aim now is to get them built up with enough stores to get...
I’m loving my open water swimming at the moment. There’s no need to go really hard, just nice steady swims in the sunshine. I’ve just got back from another swim on the seafront here at Ynsylas. I can swim at pretty much any state of the tide and there isn’t usually too much of a...
