Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We had a nice family evening out on Saturday to visit the Halloween / Bonfire Night lantern procession in Machynlleth. We drove there with Dave and Sarah and met Sarah, Simon and Josh there.. We also bumped into a few other Ynyslas residents including Mike, Rachel, Jamie and Cameron, Chris, Margi and Amy as well...
As you may have already read, we had the first ever Ynyslas Fun Day here at the weekend. A low key affair, but you have to start somewhere. One of the events was a ‘Treasure Hunt’ arranged by Anna and myself, which we think went well Everyone set off with their instructions sheets, and had...

Aber-cachers.co.uk will be a comminuty site where local and visiting geocachers can plan trips, ask for advice and generally get to know each other. As well as covering...
Photo: Last Years Successful Hunt! We’re off visiting family this weekend. It’s that time of year again when we go to my parents to exchange Xmas gifts and partake in the annual Christmas Tree hunt. I actually quite enjoy it, but I think I’m the only one who does. We’re going on Sunday this year...
Last night we travelled all of about 10 metres to the now annual bonfire party at our next door neighbours. Now that they live here full time and are not just weekend visitors, the bonfire party seems to be growing in stature with more and more members of the local community coming together for an...
