Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I thought it was time for a quick update on our beekeeping plans. As far as actual beekeeping goes then there isn’t much happening at this time of year, but we’re still busy working on the project for ‘Plan Bee’ in our garden. My Dad has been busy building two hives for us and they...
I’ve always had funny feet. I’ve walked on my toes since I was a toddler so not only do I have very tight achilles tendons and skinny calves but my feet are a funny shape too. Whenever I’ve seen a chiropodist they’ve just looked at them and said they’ve never seen anything like it! I’m...
We’ve just got back from a weekend visiting family in Bristol. Well, between Bristol and Gloucester really but we still call it Bristol. Morgan was pleased to see all his cousins and had fun playing with them. We obviously went to some shops as we feel as though we have to when we’re in the...
Morgan is about to get his first grown up teeth!
The record breaking low temperatures and snowfall of December have gone and in its place we have rain, rain and yet more rain. The whole of West Wales seems to have been plunged into a great big bowl of mist and murk and it’s not at all pleasant out there. Bring back the freezing temperatures...
I’ve always had a vision of planting lots of Cordylines (also known as Manx or Cabbage Palms) along the road here as I think it would enhance the seaside feel with a slightly tropical touch. We’ve planted a few ourselves, other neighbiours already have some and we’ve even bought some as presents for other locals...
We all went to the Panto in Aberystwyth yesterday – Oh yes we did!! When I say all I mean, Anna, Morgan and myself along with about 20 others in our group including a load of Morgan’s friends and their parents. We of course were only a small group in a packed house. It was Cinderella...
I didn’t have much time for ‘training’ today so thought I’d fit in a quick but hard run at lunch time. I’ve been trying to do some VO2 Max intervals along the beach recently but haven’t been able to get the intensities, pace and distances quite right for it to be manageable but hard. The...
I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I ate far too much over Christmas and did very little exercise so it’s now time to get back to it. The ‘rest’ doesn’t seem to have done too much damage as I felt OK on our Mountain Bike Ride at the weekend although I have put...
Well, I had good intentions to go for a swim yesterday. The university pool is closed, there is no swimfits or circuits this week so I thought I’d better get wet and do some swimming at Plascrug Leisure centre. I checked online to make sure they were open and then drove all the way into...
