Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Whilst in Bristol recently we visited a few of the sights thanks to Isambard Kingdom Brunel. I’m from Bristol originally so things such as the Suspension Bridge and the SS Great Britain are fairly commonplace to me, especially as I used to walk past them everyday on my way to school. But Morgan and Anna...
With the sun shining and lots going on in Borth, we had a lovely weekend. We spent quite a bit of time in the garden, we popped into Borth for the crowning of the Carnival Queen and for Morgan to collect a commemorative mug. The mug was to commemorate the Diamond Jubliee and there was...
Our recent and pointless trip to the Apple Store gave Morgan a chance to play with some of the toys there. He is saving up for an iPod Touch but had a go with other things too…. Somehow he just instinctively knows how to use them and within seconds managed to take a photo of...

I don’t quite get it myself, but Morgan seems to like them. Puffles originate from an online Disney game called Club Penguin where children can explore an imaginary icey world through the use of a penguin avatar. It’s a massively multiplayer online...
I do like eating home grown produce and the garden is doing well at the moment. Last night I managed a meal with loads of fruit and veg that we had grown with our own fair hands. It was a bit of a mix and match meal as I grabbed it after a circuit training...
Just a few shots of Morgan in action at this years Sports Day.
We broke up our drive back from the Big Cow Triathlon with a stop at the Dingle Garden just outside of Welshpool. This is probably my favourite garden and I love everything about it, except the fact that mine will never ever look anywhere near as good as this. It was the perfect little stop...
As part of my rest day before the Big Cow Triathlon we had decided to go for a walk in Salcey Forest which wasn’t far from the Hotel we were staying at in Northampton. We hadn’t been there before so we went armed with some geocaches to look for and planned to walk along the...
May 27th 2012, Big Cow Triathlon, one of my ‘A Priority’ races this year and something I’d been working hard towards for months. I’m still relatively new to this triathlon malarky having only started last year and this was my first big, higher profile race. Not only were there close to 1000 competitors, many more...
I have always avoided making Yorkshire puddings as I seemed to think they were too difficult to get right but thanks to Jamie Oliver and a recipe in his Ministry of Food book I now have a fail safe method which works every time. Even Morgan can make them. I’ve adjusted the recipe so that...
