Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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...
Fame for Morgan with a nice mention in the Spring edition of the Welsh Beekeeper Magazine. He could have at least tucked his ‘T’-shirt in!
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...

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...
