Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Another busy weekend for us, but thanks to the fact that it is soon Morgan’s birthday it was at least a long weekend. The three of us left home early on Friday (after I’d done an even earlier hour on the turbo trainer) in order to had to the Cardiff Whitewater Centre. Morgan’s birthday treat...
After a training morning on Sunday and a Beehive Re-location, our day was still not done as we were off to the Panto in Aberystwyth. One of our Scouts was in the panto so we had originally planned to take to other Scouts along with us and have quite a big party of panto-goers. But...
After torrential rains in the morning, Morgan and I were supposed to be going mountain biking on Saturday afternoon, but as the skies cleared and the sun came out Morgan couldn’t be bothered so instead I decided to go for a walk along the beach into Borth to get some bread and milk. It turned...
We were invited to spend a couple of days in St David’s. staying in a holiday home owned by some friends. We couldn’t go for long as we just so happened to be looking after their guinea pigs so couldn’t leave them for long but decided spend New Year there and make a start on...
Monday started off cold and frosty as we loaded up the car for a day Mountain Biking at Coed y Brenin. I was running the last of my 6 assessed coaching sessions towards my Level 2 Cycle Coaching Certificate so we were meeting all of my students there for a final few tips and a...
We didn’t get huge amounts of snow here, but it did start snowing quite heavily whilst Morgan and I were out Mountain Biking yesterday at Pendam. Once we’d finished biking and got into the car it came down really heavily again so Morgan took a quick video clip of the snowstorm as I drove along...
Christmas Eve was a nice quiet one. The house was cleaned and ready for Santa, but there wasn;t much to do as far as that was concerned as we’d been getting on top of most things anyway. That meant we had a fairly quiet day. After a quick little spin on the turbo trainer I headed...
It’s not quite finished yet – we have to add a whole load of presents around the tree. Morgan has been working hard on those. Otherwise progress on the Christmas Tree themed Christmas Cake is coming on well. Even if I do now literally have green fingers thanks to all of the green food colouring!...
Another sleepless night last night thanks to the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers. We started off by taking the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to the Railway Inn and The Victoria in Borth so that they could sing carols at the Mad Friday punters and collect some money. They did OK and the people of Borth...
