Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I attended the formative meeting of the Ceredigion Moth Group last night. Unfortunately there hasn’t been an active moth group in the county for quite some time and there hasn’t really been any structured recording of the species that we get. All other counties in England and Wales seem to have active moth groups and...
There was finally a little break in the weather yesterday afternoon so we decided to go to the fair. (See here for Aberystwyth Fair opening times). We hadn’t made any definite plans so didn’t tell Morgan until we collected him from school and hadn’t made plans to meet anyone there either. However, as usual it...
We had a break in the ‘Wild West Wales Weather‘ yesterday so though it would be a good idea to get out there and make the most of it. I went for a quick mountain bike ride around the Summit Trail at Nant yr Arian. I’m still struggling a little on the hills but it...
The Machynlleth Festival of Light Lantern procession and Fireworks display was good last night. As it fell on Halloween this year, we left the pumpkins out on the deck to ward off the evil spirits before driving into Machynlleth. We hadn’t planned to meet anyone there but knew that a few people were going and...
The Annual Borth and Ynyslas fireworks party went well last night. Despite the terrible weather forecast, loads of people turned up to Dave and Sarah’s, most with plates of food and a firework. We also took a pumpkin and were supposed to take some toilet roll but forgot! The bonfire was soon lit and although...
The clocks have gone back, the evenings are darker and it feels as though Winter is properly on its way. A depressing time for many, but I really like it. It isn’t very cold at the moment but there’s nothing nicer than snuggling up indoors in front of the fire whilst it’s cold and miserable...
I came across a weblog written by another local resident the other day. I can’t remember how it came to my attention, probably through a ‘Google Alert’ in my inbox, but it was well written with lots of local interest so I had a look through it and then to my surprise found a photo...
I’m on a mission to turn the main road through Ynyslas into an avenue of palm trees! OK, it’ll probably never happen but I think it would look nice. One of the things I like about the Isle of Man is the number of palm trees there. More accurately they are actually Cordyline Australis which...
Believe it or not, Morgan is 4 already!! He’s into Power Rangers at the moment so his 4th birthday party was a Power Rangers Training Camp! Several of his friends turned up along of course with their parents, and his Auntie Trudi and cousin Kia and Shaun came up from Bristol as well. We had...
