Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Anna was working on Saturday so couldn’t join us for our weekly walk along the beach to check on the progress of the Borth Sea Defence Scheme. My parents were here though and hadn’t seen any of it yet so as usual we drove from Ynyslas to Borth, parked up on the road and then...
The weather has been good for work on the Borth Sea Defence Scheme. We have had a couple of really high tides over the last week or so but fortunately the weather was calm so it didn’t cause too many problems. The contractors did place some large rocks around the area that they park the...
Hopefully I’ll be posting about this quite a bit over the next few months, keeping people up to dat with progress on the Sea Defence Scheme in Borth. Work is well and truly underway now with a constant stream of huge lorries thundering their way in and out of Borth all day long. They line...
Work has begun on the new Sea Defence Scheme in Borth so we took a walk there at the weekend to see what was happening. The plans are to build several large rock groynes perpendicular to the water line in place of the existing wooden groynes, along with 6 large fish-tail shaped breakwaters further down...
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 wonder if with a title like that this post gets more views than normal? Well, not being one to disappoint, you can if you want by buying the Coast 2 Coast 2011 Calendar. I posed for the photos a while back and then produced the calendar for them which has now been printed. As...
We had a busy day yesterday. First was a trip to the local Christmas Fete where the Beavers had a stall. Morgan was donating some of his old toys and Anna had made chocolates to sell so we turned up to give those to them and also wandered around with Jamie and Cameron whilst their...
Despite the sub-zero temperatures we braved the fair in Aberystwyth last night. As usual we bumped into (literally on the bumper cars!) many of Morgans friends from school and we all had fun freezing half to death watching the kids on the rides.
I’ve just noticed lots of hits on my post about the Aberystwyth Fun Fair last year, which reminded me that it must be time for it again. I’m not 100% sure the dates of the 2010 fair, but it is normally on the 1st Monday after the 12th of November and the subsequent 2 Mondays...
Yes, another night and another bonfire party and fireworks display, that seems to be all we’ve done lately. Last night was the turn of the annual party at Dave and Sarah’s, our next door neighbours. As per usual it was full of their friends, most of whom are from Borth and Ynyslas and most of...
