Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Just a couple of photos from a sleepover here at the weekend. Morgan’s friend Tom came to stay. We went to see Aberystwyth Town play in the afternoon – our first time ever at a football match, and then he stayed over. He took a liking to Morgan’s onesie and as luck would have it,...
Mmm… Double baked Milk Chocolate Buttons, White Chocolate Buttons and Flaked Almond brownies for Anna’s birthday.
Following our trip to Loch Lomond which was a complete success all round, we had planned to meet up with Pat (Anna’s Mum) at Chester Zoo on our way back. She had a coach trip over from the Isle of Man and we had spent the night nearby in a Premier Inn in Runcorn. We...
