Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Racing in Triathlons tends to take us to places we haven’t been before, and St. Neots in Cambridgeshire was one of these places. We drove down after school and work on Friday evening and arrived at a nearby Premier Inn which was to be our bed for a couple of nights. It was quite late...
Morgan’s school was closed on election day so that it could be used as a polling station. This seems silly to us as I’m sure a portacabin in the park adjacent to the school would be more than sufficient for a polling station rather than closing down the whole school, but Morgan obviously wasn’t complaining. Anna...
Another busy bank holiday weekend for us, but we did manage to squeeze in the finding of a quick geocache in order to get the 15 years of geocaching souvenir. In order to get this you simply had to find any geocache on May 2nd or 3rd. The reason for this was that on May...
Just to finish off our bog posts about our holiday to Dorset, we had an early start on Sunday so that I could compete in the Osprey Sprint Triathlon. The race went well in glorious sunshine, if a little windy. Click here to read my full Osprey Sprint Triathlon Race Report. After the race we had...
As was now customary on this holiday, I headed out first thing in the morning for an early morning walk to find some geocaches. This time I headed in a different direction along the network of Cycle Paths and found a nice little nature reserve to stroll through. I found a geocache as well, but...
I can’t believe it’s Friday already, we may have packed a lot into our holiday so far, but there was still so much to do. Today started with an early morning walk for me where I found three geocaches and as usual returned with croissants for breakfast for Anna and Morgan. We then headed off...
It may only be April, but it was time for our family holiday to Portland in Dorset. Why Portland in Dorset? Well, I was planning on competing in what looked like a nice sprint distance triathlon there on Sunday 12th, and it was the area that I studied for for PhD. looking at the palaeoecology...
We’ve had a slow cooker for years and I have to admit it is lovely to head out for the day (whether that is off for a walk in the hills with Alan and Morgan or just a day at work) and have tea all ready to go when you walk through the door.
I have only ever made stew in our slow cooker. I have played with the variety of stew and we’ve had some lovely beef, pork and leek, beef and ale and chicken stews over the years…
I took the plunge the other day and ordered the Garmin Fenix 3 watch that I’ve been wanting for a while to replace my Forerunner 910XT. It’s a ridiculous amount of money for a watch, especially as I wanted the Sapphire Glass version with the new ‘Run’ Heart Rate Monitor Strap, but it’s nice to treat…
