Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Llwyncelyn garden in Glandyfi was open on Sunday as part of the National Garden Scheme, so we had a little family outing to visit it. The National Garden Scheme sees provate gardens all over the country open in aid of charity and I’m sure many people go along for a nose as much as anything...
Our cat rarely gets mentioned here, so to put that right, here’s a photo of her in the garden yesterday – She is a very silly cat!
Do you like our new pet? I think he could do with a slightly larger cage, although we do let him out to ride his bike around the garden now and then.
The Mr. Potato Head Easter Egg that Morgan had for Easter didn’t last long – it was made of chocolate afterall! Morgan enjoyed making him though so Anna kept the packaging that the various body parts came in, melted up some more chocolate and poured it into to moulds to make new body parts. Here...
Morgan had a Mr. Potato Head Easter Egg for Easter. Pretty cool we think. It came with an egg and various chocolate face parts and some chocolate buttons. The instructions said to melt the buttons in your hand and use them to glue the face parts onto the egg. We were a little less messy...

The Bluebells are really early this year and are actually coming towards the end of their...
Our new conservatory is now completed. It took a little longer than originally planned and there were a few little niggles towards the end to sort out but Mid Wales Windows who built it for us were quick to address them and it is now all ours. We’ve been spending a lot of time in...
Like almost everyone in the country, we’ve been enjoying the spring sunshine, sometimes from within our new conservatory which is now finished and is a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by, other times from within the garden itself. We’re not the only ones either, the plants and flowers seem to be...
We’ve been raising plants from seed this year and most of them are coming on really well, so over the weekend one of the tasks was to pot them all on. The beans and courgettes are quite large and healthy so they were planted on and new seeds sown in their place. The brocolli is...
