Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Sunday was the final full day of our trip to the Isle of Man and we had several geocaching records that we could try to beat. Number of caches in a day – current record = 15 Number of consecutive days with finds – current record = 6 Most finds in a month – current...
Another glorious day on the Isle of Man – sunshine, blue skies, a cold wind, 4°C and snow-lined roads. I made an early start and headed out for a bike ride whilst Anna and Morgan had breakfast. My ride took me through Colby and into Port St Mary, along the coast road into Castletown and...
After 5 days with some sort of lurgy that never really came to anything I’ve just done my first training session. 5 days without training may not sound like much, but it was actually 6 days as the day before I started feeling ill was a rest day and to me it seems like ages....
Easter Saturday dawned clear and bright. It was still cold but at least the wind had eased. I felt a little better than I had yesterday so we decided that a family day out was in order. We wanted to hide a geocache in Cwm Rheidol so we prepared some boxes, log books and cache...
It was Good Friday, I had a pre-race lurgy, Morgan was exhausted after a term of school, Anna was having a well-earned day off and we were all being lazy at home so I decided to try another recipe from our Volcanic Kitchens cookbook. This time it was Rotorua Mud Cake but there was no...
Anna was out most of the day on Saturday, first taking the cat to the vet and then playing in a concert with the Aberystwyth Silver Band. Whilst she was out I had the urge to bake a cake… That’s the trouble with watching Saturday Kitchen! It was a cold and very wintry late March...
We’ve just got back from a weekend away in Cardiff and Bristol. First visiting a running shop and the Dr. Who Experience in Cardiff, then the Triathlon Shop Expo in Bristol. We then we went to my parents house in South Gloucestershire where we had dinner at my sisters (they live the other half of...
One of Morgan’s birthday resents from us was a Slackline set. If you don’t know what slacklining is then it’s a little like tight-rope walking, but the line isn’t tight! It’s actually a practice in balance that typically uses nylon or polyester webbing tensioned between two anchor points. The slackness of the line provides a...
Thanks to my 8 puddings after a carvery at The Marine a couple of weekends ago and then a monstrous 16 puddings at the pudding party on Sunday I seem to be getting a reputation for nno-stop eating. Maybe I should take up competitive eating instead of triathlon, I think I’d be good at that...
We have a guest post for you today which includes some items from John Lewis. It’s quite pertinent as well as we’ve been enjoying our cooking and baking recently here, so without further ado, here it is: Tips for an efficient kitchen When you’re prepping and cooking meals, you should be able to locate the...
