Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Christmas is over and the New Year is here… HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! The last few days of the holiday were pretty wild here. Winds gusting to 54 knots and some mad mad storms, rain, hail, thunder, lightning, you name it we have had it. Steve came to visit on Saturday and we had planned...
Since Anna, Morgan and I accidently started geocaching eariler this year, quite a few of our friends have started doing it too and Brad and Eloise got around to doing their first cache a couple of days ago. I know it sounds silly looking for plastic containers in the woods or on top of hills,...
For those of you wondering where your Christmas card from us is, don’t panic we haven’t forgotten you and our thoughts are with you at Christmas. However we have decided this year to put the money we would have spent on Christmas cards (which only end up in the bin contributing to the waste problems)...
As promised here is a photo of the lights so far at night. I say so far as I also have an illuminated father christmas with a Merry Christmas banner to go up yet. It isn’t quite over the top yet and I’m sure there are houses with more lights elsewhere in Borth, but it...
Our tree looks nice this year, just the right size for the corner of the room and nicely decorated too. Hopefully it won’t drop its needles as well. Morgan had fun helping us decorate it last night and we have lights in the window and around the deck too. I’m quite into it this year...
The date was set, Sunday Dec 17th 2006, location: Brockley Coombe, Fountain Forestry, weapons and silly hats at the ready, the annual Christmas tree hunt was on: Preparation is of course the key to a successful hunt so the first task was to get the whole family suited and booted. It was then off deep...
We’re collecting my new car this weekend. Brad has already picked it up from S & R Motors, the dealer we bought it from. There were a few little issues with it such as it doesn’t have ABS despite the fact that the description of it said it did and two of the tyres are...
Photo: Last Years Successful Hunt! We’re off visiting family this weekend. It’s that time of year again when we go to my parents to exchange Xmas gifts and partake in the annual Christmas Tree hunt. I actually quite enjoy it, but I think I’m the only one who does. We’re going on Sunday this year...
It was a sad day in our household yesterday due to the death of a pet frog… For those who don’t know, I used to be a zookeeper at Bristol Zoo and whilst I was there I adopted several exotic pets. These pets included 4 Whites Tree Frogs which I have had ever since. They...
Well, it has sprung up on us again and all of a sudden there is no time to do anything before it arrives. This weekend we are off to a Christmas party at Morgans nursery, next weekend we are off Christmas tree hunting in the West country (and collecting my new car) and then the...
