Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I had another action packed weekend here in Wales. Now that I have a new bike, my brother Jay came to visit so that he could borrow my old bike and come out for a couple of mountain-bike rides with me. He used to be a fairly handy cyclist, racing on and off the road,...
Now that the clocks have gone forward there is plenty of time for getting out and making the most of the light in the evenings. The weather was gorgeous yesterday so Anna, Morgan and I took a stroll across to the dunes. A recent report said that children don’t get to spend nearly as much...
I had the unexpected pleasure of spending a couple of days in the Cardiac Monitoring Unit at Bronglais Hospital last week. I had some pains in my chest on Wednesday which got worse overnight and didn’t improve on Thursday. Normally I’d put such things down to a pulled muscle or some other injury sustained whilst,...
Believe it or not, Morgan is 4 already!! He’s into Power Rangers at the moment so his 4th birthday party was a Power Rangers Training Camp! Several of his friends turned up along of course with their parents, and his Auntie Trudi and cousin Kia and Shaun came up from Bristol as well. We had...
We’ve recently returned from our holiday in Slovenia. We went to Kranjska Gora again and had a good time. The resort was a little busier than last time but we soon settled in and as before the hotel was lovely. Good rooms, good food and friendly staff… Although it was a little too warm!! Dave...
Xmas Eve was here at last so we headed off to Tywyn and the Tal-y-Llyn railway station where after a quick look around the museum we boarded the Tal-y-Llyn steam train along with a few friends and headed off up the valley into the hills. After a while and a nice scenic train ride we...
Unlike previous years we didn’t go Xmas Tree hunting this year. We normally use Xmas tree hunting as a family get together, but this year the timing was wrong. Jay and Jenny were in Lapland along with many other family members getting married so we met up earlier in December instead and went Ice-Skating and...
We went to Morgan’s nursery Christmas party at the weekend. All of the older children did a little nativity play (well, they all dressed up and sung a few songs). The outfits were good, although there were only two Wise Men, Mary seemd to have been stood up by Joseph and for some reason there...
Just a few photos from our recent Ice-Skating session in Bristol. As you can see it was an outdoor ice-rink set up outside The Mall at Cribbs Causeway for Christmas Along with the ice-rink there was a Santa’s Grotto and various stalls selling fudge, candy floss, doughnuts and other bits and pieces. Fortunately it was...
Anna’s car has decided to die on us… Perfect timing as this has already been an expensive few weeks! First we’re having some work done on the house which will cost quite a bit, we’ve bought some new household appliances too I lost around £750 worth of windsurfing kit at sea and we booked a...
