Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We’ve just got back from a weekend away in Cardiff and Bristol. First visiting a running shop and the Dr. Who Experience in Cardiff, then the Triathlon Shop Expo in Bristol. We then we went to my parents house in South Gloucestershire where we had dinner at my sisters (they live the other half of...
Morgan made a lovely Mother’s Day card for Anna this year, complete with a poem that he wrote himself: MUM I Love you lots and lots Mum, Your food is really yum, I really like your pizza and your pasta Hopefully it will me me run faster. I love you lots and lots Mum, Because...
We went to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff on Saturday. We made an early start, leaving the house at just after 6am so that we could get to a running shop to buy some new shoes for me when they opened at 9.30am. We then drove to Cardiff Bay parked and wandered over to the...
One of Morgan’s birthday resents from us was a Slackline set. If you don’t know what slacklining is then it’s a little like tight-rope walking, but the line isn’t tight! It’s actually a practice in balance that typically uses nylon or polyester webbing tensioned between two anchor points. The slackness of the line provides a...
Phew, three weekends later and Morgan’s birthday party is over. It started on February 14th when my parents came to stay.

We hadn’t been to the Marine Hotel in Aberystwyth for their Sunday Carvery for ages but as my parents were here for the weekend, it was nearly Morgans birthday and we didn’t do anything for Valentines Day we thought we’d treat ourselves. Last time we went we were impressed, especially with the puddings so were...
My parents are visiting this weekend – It’s Morgan’s birthday soon so they have come up to see him. Saturday was a nice enough day weather-wise, although still a little grey and overcast in the morning. Anna had to work so set off early while Morgan, my Mum and Dad and mysefl had a slow...
My parents are here visiting for the weekend so yesterday after our ride at Nant yr Arian I jumped on the Turbo Trainer for an hour of 14 Ramps ranging from 120% to 150% of FTP whilst they went for a walk in the dunes. Here’s what I did: In the meantime Morgan ‘Ninny’ and Grandad...
Morgan was at home with me again today so we had a morning of MTB action planned. We first had to collect my car from the garage where it had been having some surgery to get it through the MOT: New exhaust centre section New Tail Pipe New brake pipes New brake fluid New Anti-roll...
