Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We’ve now been blogging since 2005 and my blogging intensities seem to go from strength to strength. It’s surprising how much happens in the life of a small family living a ‘Simple Life of Luxury’ in Wales and I’m forever encouraged by the number of people who read this weblog. I’m not saying the content...
I did try geocaching – unsuccessfully it has to be said – in 6 feet of snow in Slovenia once, but it was a little easier in a couple of inches here in Wales. Saturday was a glorious sunny morning with snow on the ground so after an FTF on a puzzle cache Morgan and...
Despite the sub-zero temperatures we braved the fair in Aberystwyth last night. As usual we bumped into (literally on the bumper cars!) many of Morgans friends from school and we all had fun freezing half to death watching the kids on the rides.
Spurred on by our success with an FTF on the Gamma puzzle cache, I started work on deciphering another puzzle cache in the series. This time it was the Omega cache which had the following clues. This is hard, and of course not at the published coords, this puzzle stood uncracked between 1918 and 2010,...
Morgan and I went geocaching again after school on Thursday. I’d already got an FTF on a puzzle cache on the way to school and did a quick cache and dash near to Gogerddan woods. Then after collecting Morgan from shcool we drove to one of my favourite little woodlands just outside of Bow Street...
I noticed yet another new geocache in the area on Wednesday. I took a look at it but it was a puzzle and as I was feeling ill I didn’t really have the brain power to solve it. I sent it to Anna as an e-mail and pretty soon she had an answer for me,...
As I mentioned a few days ago we’ve been replacing the carpet in our living room and dining room. It was a cheap carpet in the first place and had faded badly so it was time for a new one. Whilst at it we thought we’d redecorate the rooms too as it has to be...
Seeing as Morgan has been keen to do some more geocaching recently I’ve been taking my Garmin Forerunner GPSr and my iPod with me on the school run so that we can find one or two caches on the way home from school. This system works well for paperless caching and means we don’t have...
Well, we had our first sprinkling of snow for the winter last night. Only a tiny bit here and temperatures were down to -1.2ºC on the weather station. Morgan was unimpressed, but Anna and I are always excited by a bit of snow. There could be a bit more on the way as well. If...
Morgan has been keen to do some geocaches lately and as it’s a great excuse to get out into the great outdoors and have a bit of a walk I’ve been more than happy to take him. We started geocaching in September 2006 and at the time quite liked it as it took us to...
