Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We had an entertaining evening at a Ceredigion schools concert in the Arts Centre in Aberystwyth last night. It was three concerts in one really. Windband Schools Concert First up was the Wind Band in which Morgan was playing. We even had to join in with some audience participation during the 1812 overture using paper...
Another glorious sunny day here today even if it was a little chilly. Just below freezing in fact first thing but by mid morning it was up above 5ºC so time for another little session canoeing in Borth. This time we went for a little paddle around the reefs by the lifeboat station with Morgan and...
We’d been chomping at the bit to get out in our new self-built canoe, that (for obvious reasons) we had christened ‘Fingers Crossed’ Since getting it home I;d given it a few more coats of varnish and it was now ready to go. The weather was set fair yesterday so a plan was made for...
As you know from the day by day account of our Lake District holiday, we’ve recently spent a few days on a canoe building workshop. I managed to capture some timelapse photos of the canoe building workshop while we were there so though I’d share it here, along with some info about the workshop as we...
The final day of our holiday to the Lake District was already upon us. Anna had planned a day out in Keswick. Strava Segment Searching Before all of that though I headed out for a run. Prior to coming to the cottage at Greengill Holidays, I had looked on Strava for some suitable running routes....
After our walk up Place Fell yesterday we had a slower start to the day today. I left the cottage just after 8am leaving Anna and Morgan in bed and walked into Great Strickland and on to the canoe workshop. It was a nice little 45 minute walk that will have earned me some Bounts...
There was no rush today as our canoe building course was over so we had a few days left of our holiday and some time to explore. We did pop into the workshop though to give our canoe a coat of varnish. The more coats of varnish we can apply the better so we’ve decided...
Another early start for me with a run around the Newby Block the same as a couple of days ago. I did knock 2 minutes off my Strava course record though. After a shower and breakfast at the cottage we headed off to the workshop to continue with our canoe build. The coat of paint...
Day three of our canoe build today but as usual I was up early so went for a little walk around Morland before returning to the cottage for breakfast. It was then off to the workshop to continue with our canoe. First job of the day (after making a brew) was the moment of truth...
Day two of our canoe build and things are now looking good. After a good night in the cottage I got up at 5ish and waited for it to get light enough to go for a run. Nothing too mad, just a short 3 mile run around the local country lanes with just the pheasants...
