Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Hope you all had a good Christmas. Somehow we managed to keep Morgan awake on the way back from visiting Santa so he went to bed fairly excited but fairly early on Xmas Eve. Anna and Imanaged an early night too so I think Santa must have visited fairly early as well. Morgan woke up...
Xmas Eve was here at last so we headed off to Tywyn and the Tal-y-Llyn railway station where after a quick look around the museum we boarded the Tal-y-Llyn steam train along with a few friends and headed off up the valley into the hills. After a while and a nice scenic train ride we...
I decided it was time to get a new camera bag to go with my new camera. For a start the bag I had been using was a little too small for the camea and two lenses and more importantly it was BRIGHT PINK! No, really it was pinker than you can imagine! So, I...
Unlike previous years we didn’t go Xmas Tree hunting this year. We normally use Xmas tree hunting as a family get together, but this year the timing was wrong. Jay and Jenny were in Lapland along with many other family members getting married so we met up earlier in December instead and went Ice-Skating and...
After a busy day on Saturday, Anna and Morgan were off to the Arts Centre in Aberystwyth to see Peter Pan on Sunday, so seeing as my bike was in the shop being repaired I planned a day walking and geocaching in the hills with my new camera. Just before leaving I wandered across to...
We went to Morgan’s nursery Christmas party at the weekend. All of the older children did a little nativity play (well, they all dressed up and sung a few songs). The outfits were good, although there were only two Wise Men, Mary seemd to have been stood up by Joseph and for some reason there...
Just a few photos from our recent Ice-Skating session in Bristol. As you can see it was an outdoor ice-rink set up outside The Mall at Cribbs Causeway for Christmas Along with the ice-rink there was a Santa’s Grotto and various stalls selling fudge, candy floss, doughnuts and other bits and pieces. Fortunately it was...
We’ve just got back from a busy weekend in Gloucestershire doing a pre-Christmas family visit and getting my car MOT-ed. Unfortunately just after the MOT it developed an oil leak so we had to leave it there and borrow my brothers car to get back home! Morgan also came down with a sickness bug so...
The fair is in town, so after a play in the playground, a walk along the prom, watching the starlings above the pier and dinner in KFC we headed off to the fair. It isn’t something we normally do, but Morgan was pretty excited by the idea so we thought we would take him. Being...
