Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Morgan has been dying to ride his bike up at Nant yr Arian for a while so whilst the schools were closed last thursday for polling I took him up there and we had a ride around the lake. he also had his first go along the Hippity Hop section of trail. It was a...
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 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...
