Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Guess I’d better spend the day clearing up the carnage made by Anna and Morgan whilst making pancakes last night!. Looks as though they had fun though and there were a pile of pancakes waiting for me when I got back for circuits and swimfit. Mmmmmm.
Half term here again already, so after making camp chairs in the morning Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his kite and the GoPro. Last time we tried this it started pouring with rain. This time it was much better, the wind was better and there were even a few small patches...
Morgan is only a Cubs at the moment but as Anna and I are the Scout Leaders he has to come to Scouts with us as well so seems to consider himself an honorary Scout most of the time. He tends to join in with most activities and was so taken with the camp chair...
Well, that didn’t quite go to plan. The idea was to head over to the beach to make the most of the sunshine, get the kites out, fly them for a bit and then mess around trying to attach my GoPro to them to do some aerial photography. Morgan and I headed over with all...
Another day and another snowman – although the snow here at sea level is now beginning to disappear. Still loads in the hills though.
We had quite a bit more snow here last night so after breakfast there was nothing for it but to head out into the garden and then over to the beach and the golf course for a play in it. All the fun and games was followed by a delicious ‘Epic Hot Chocolate’ complete...

Hooray, he weekend again! Excellent, we were all off and able to have a family day out. It’s a shame that Anna has to work sometimes when Morgan is off school because Morgan and I get to go out and have fun whilst she is working – But someone has to pay the bills I suppose....
Our geocaching streak continues. Morgan and I quite often do some geocaching whilst he is on school holidays and this Christmas break has been no exception. First our target was to get to a total of 300 caches which we did a couple of days ago. Morgan now has the idea of breaking our best...
One of Morgan’s new toys for Christmas were some Hexbug Nano’s. These were new to me, but they’re actually quite good. OK, they won’t compete with Lego, but there is something about them. Hexbugs are toy ‘automatons’ that scurry around bumping into things and reacting to pressure. The original ones were quite a bit bigger than...
