Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Wednesday morning dawned bright and sunny once again we had no sleep as the room was so hot. I therefore went out for an early morning walk into the reeds of the Lodmor Country Park as the sun rose. I returned with croissants for breakfast for Anna and Morgan. We complained about the ridiculous heat...
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]uesday already and our first full day in Dorset.

After what was supposed to be a recovery week training wise, it was back to it today with some hellish hill reps. Not that the preceding week was exactly restful thanks to lots and lots of work to do, both website design work and working at the University, which meant that in order to fit...
