Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I had a meeting with some potential web design clients today, so drove all the way to Llandysul. Unfortunately when I got there I discovered they had been trying to phone me as the person I was supposed to have the meeting with was off sick so the meeting was canceled. Frustrating as traveling to...
We’ve just got back from a ‘proper’ family holiday in Slovenia. We stayed in Kranjska Gora in the NW of the country. It is a small resort town, aimed at snowsports in the winter and wlaking and biking in the summer. We were there at the end of the winter season so the snow wasn’t...
I haven’t long got back from an outdoor weekend in Wales. First I drove to Liverpool and Anna, Morgan and I stayed in a Travel lodge for the night so that I could drop Anna and Morgan off at the airport early in the morning so that they couldget the plane to the Isle of...
Ever since starting geocaching I have wanted to dispense with the paper cache description and find a streamlined way of paperless geocaching.

I seem to be becoming GPS enabled in all walks of life these days. It started with a Garmin eTrex that I originally bought to see how fast I could go whilst windsurfing and then started using for geocaching. I had a TomTom One XL for my birthday which has been working well and is...
After James and Donna’s wedding on Saturday we all had a nice breakfast at the castle and then said our goodbyes and set off on our own separate ways. As part of the wedding arrangements and our accommodation for the weekend we had access to the various attractions at the castle so decided to have...
We’ve not long been back from a busy long-weekend in the lake District. Lots to Blog about so I shall post individual entires for each of the main topics, but overall James and Donna’s wedding went well and we had a great time, The location was perfect, the ceremony spot on and the reception etc...
We had another nice family day out on Saturday. I ‘needed’ some new technical clothing so we thought a trip up to Betws y Coed and the outdoor shops there would be good. I was after lots of things as usual, a really nice waterproof jacket for walking, a lightweight, waterproof for cycling, some waterproof...
Sorry, but I haven’t had time to write proper reports on our trip to the Isle of Man, so here are some of the photos instead.
