Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Frequent shoppers in Aberystwyth’s Morrisons might think that I’m up to something as I was fund-raising there on Friday last week and then again on Tuesday this week. Friday’s fundraising was with the Scouts, doing a skipping challenge for the British Heart Foundation and bag-packing to raise money for the Scout Group. Tuesday’s Find-raising was...
Sorry for the lack of blog posts here over the past few days but we’ve been mega-busy working in the garden building a new shed – well, it is the perfect time of year for DIY Projects. Not just that of course as we’ve also had a fund-raising night at Morrison’s with the Scouts, fund-raising...
Another Bank Holiday weekend over and done with, and another busy weekend for us. Immediately after Morgan had finished his race in the Aberystwyth Cycle Fest, we jumped in the car, dropped Morgans bike off at the University and then headed towards my parents house in Gloucestershire. We arrived in time for dinner and then had...
Yet another year that we have managed to miss the Aberystwyth Cycle Fest. It’s been taking place for 5 years now and not once have we had anything to do with it as we have always been away. This year was no exception as we were away for my Dad’s 65th birthday party. We did...
That familiar cry of ‘Are we nearly there yet? Here’s a great game for children to help alleviate the boredom of long car journeys. We are fairly sure that my Grandad on my Mum’s side invented this game and we’ve yet to find anyone else who plays it so that could well be true. It’s...
Racing in Triathlons tends to take us to places we haven’t been before, and St. Neots in Cambridgeshire was one of these places. We drove down after school and work on Friday evening and arrived at a nearby Premier Inn which was to be our bed for a couple of nights. It was quite late...
Morgan’s school was closed on election day so that it could be used as a polling station. This seems silly to us as I’m sure a portacabin in the park adjacent to the school would be more than sufficient for a polling station rather than closing down the whole school, but Morgan obviously wasn’t complaining. Anna...
Another busy bank holiday weekend for us, but we did manage to squeeze in the finding of a quick geocache in order to get the 15 years of geocaching souvenir. In order to get this you simply had to find any geocache on May 2nd or 3rd. The reason for this was that on May...
Just to finish off our bog posts about our holiday to Dorset, we had an early start on Sunday so that I could compete in the Osprey Sprint Triathlon. The race went well in glorious sunshine, if a little windy. Click here to read my full Osprey Sprint Triathlon Race Report. After the race we had...
As was now customary on this holiday, I headed out first thing in the morning for an early morning walk to find some geocaches. This time I headed in a different direction along the network of Cycle Paths and found a nice little nature reserve to stroll through. I found a geocache as well, but...
