Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Morgan and I had a pleasant walk on Sunday morning and found a few geocaches too. It was a fairly cold, grey day but nice enough for an easy walk behind Bow Street. We started off doing a series of caches called ‘Borrick Blunder’ and listed as a geokid circular walk. Hidden by ‘nitroglysarine‘ they sounded...
I’ve just heard a rumour about the Apple iPad that hasn’t been heard anywhere else on the web before! No, it’s not that it will have a forward facing camera making it FaceTime compatible, that’s almost guaranteed. It’s not that it will have the Retina display or even that it will have a dual core...
For those of you who think that Borth is a grey, dreary place where the sun never shines – You’re Wrong! Just take a look at what the sun here has done to our once orange carpet. It’s turned it green. Admittedly it was a fairly inexpensive carpet as we couldn’t afford much more after...
Yes, another night and another bonfire party and fireworks display, that seems to be all we’ve done lately. Last night was the turn of the annual party at Dave and Sarah’s, our next door neighbours. As per usual it was full of their friends, most of whom are from Borth and Ynyslas and most of...
We had a busy night last night, but got to see the Aberystwyth Round Table fireworks. We didn’t pay to go in as we’d paid to see the Machynlleth fireworks display last weekend, it was pouring with rain and we have a bonfire party to go to tonight as well. So, we though we’d watch...
It’s not long until Christmas, so time to start preparing. Whilst looking for presents for Morgan I came across this Lego™ City advent calendar. OK, so it costs quite a bit more than an unhealthy chocolate advent calendar but you get a great Lego™ calendar with a new mini-build every day through the advent period....
It’s becoming a bit of an annual event for us, but we went to the Machynlleth Lantern Parade and Firework display again last night. It was pouring with rain when we left, but soon brightened up and we had lovely clear skies and a nice dry evening. The lantern parade itself wasn’t as good as...
Morgan and I have just got back from RSPB Ynyshir where we made a bird feeder for ‘Feed The Birds Day’ and did a Scavenger Hunt. The bird feeder was a simple upside-down paper cup with suet, mealworms and sunflower seeds. For the scavenger hunt we had 30 minutes to find the following: A feather...
Once again, America is taking over a little and we are celebrating Halloween more and more each year. Anna and Morgan prepared the pumpkin last night ready to ward off the evil spirits. We should note that the pumpkin was grown by Dave and Sarah our neighbours and it now looks really good in the...
It looks as though today is going to be the nicest day of the Half Term week as far as the weather goes and Morgan was at home with me. So, after doing some gardening we headed off to search for some geocaches – something we hadn’t done for ages. First stop was the a...
