Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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...
Guess I’d better spend the day clearing up the carnage made by Anna and Morgan whilst making pancakes last night!. Looks as though they had fun though and there were a pile of pancakes waiting for me when I got back for circuits and swimfit. Mmmmmm.

Nicely powered with a 5m sail and some nice ramps out there too. Nothing too extreme, just a fun...
