Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Following the success of Anna’s River Cottage Cheese Making course for her birthday a couple of years ago I decided to couple that with her love of chocolate this year and gave her a chocolate making course at the York Cocoa House. This meant we were heading Northeast for the weekend. Heading to York As...
Anna’s Mum (who lives on the Isle of Man) has been in hospital in Manchester for a few days, so Anna had been on standby to collect here from the hospital and escort her home once she was discharged. Anna got that call on Monday afternoon and so left work and jumped on the train...
There’s no such thing as going OTT with chocolate where Anna’s Birthday is concerned. Rich double chocolate chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and chocolate ganache topped with tonnes of chocolate maltesers! And that’s not to mention the 17 large bars of Cadbury’s Choco Latte (yep, that’s not a typo – it was 17 bars!), the...
I think Morgan and I spent more time snorkeling whilst on Holiday in Cyprus than we did anything else. Anna did some snorkelling with us too. The water was warm and the most comfortable place to be. The sea was clear and although there wasn’t huge amounts of life there was plenty to see. We...
Just a quick video from our Chill Out Catamaran Cruise during our holiday in Cyprus. The video pretty much sums it up.
We’ve not long got back from a lovely family holiday to Cyprus. Our first proper foreign family holiday since we all went to New Zealand back in 2012. Rather than go through each day one by one in my usual fashion I’ll write a quick synopsis here and then add some separate blog posts about...
Well, after the sad news about Luna following our return from a busy week, it’s time to tell you what we were up to whilst away. Somehow, the whole trip crept up us on a little quicker than expected and we weren’t feeling ready to go away. The camper was therefore quickly packed. It had...
Anna really enjoyed her Cheese-making course at River Cottage HQ a couple of years ago. So much so that I decided to buy her another trip there as a Christmas Present. It was a Christmas present that benefitted me as well as she wouldn’t want to go on her own, so I’d just have to...
Anna and I have been cropping up all over the place recently. First Anna was playing her cornet to a herd of cows for a documentary about ‘the secret life of farm animals’. This aired on BBC4 to start with but soon made it’s way to BBC1 so she’s been on the TV a few...
Yeah, we hadn’t seen the sun for ages, but it finally came out on New Year’s Day. Perfect or a family walk around the dunes. Although, I think everyone else in the world had come to Ynyslas for the day as well which was a bit of a shock to the system. We’ve had the...
