Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
When Simon the windsurfer turned up on the door step with blood gushing from a wound on his head I was fairly ashamed that all I could find to stem the flow of blood was a bit of old tracksuit trousers from the rag bag under the sink! They were clean but not really ideal!...
I thought it was about time I had may say on here so here’s my round up of news from January (with a bit of help from Mummy). It was back to school after Christmas and we have been counting in 2s and 10s and looking at living things. Some of my friends at school...
We’ve just done our RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. We started around 9am on a cold frosty morning and saw quite a few birds but nothing too exciting. Here are the results, with last years number in brackets. Blackbird: 3 (3) Blue Tit: 1 (2) Carrion Crow: 3 (2) Chaffinch: 9 (7) Collared Dove: 1 (2)...

We’ve just got back from a weekend visiting family in Bristol. Well, between Bristol and Gloucester really but we still call it Bristol. Morgan was pleased to see all his cousins and had fun playing with them. We obviously went to some shops as we feel as though we have to when we’re in the...
Morgan is about to get his first grown up teeth!
Just a short video clip from our trip to see Santa on the Talyllyn Railway Santa Special.
Sorry for the lack of updates here recently, but we have an excuse. I’d like to say that we decided to go offline for Xmas as a matter of choice as it would be nice now and then to ‘get away from it all’ and have no contact with the outside world. However, that wasn’t...
