Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Recently the person who ran the local scout group decided to step down and there was a big recruitment drive to get some new leaders in to prevent the troop folding. Out local scout troop has an active beaver, cub, scout and explorer section which covers ages from 5 up to 18. Boys and girls...
I’ve started the year as I mean to continue. First was a windsurf off the seafront and then a swim in the estuary with people from the Triathlon Club. It was a pretty miserable day mind you, not really enough wind for the windsurf session and pouring with rain during the swim. We all returned to...
It’s not all fun and games here you know. This is how I spent my News Years Eve – rodding the drains to remove a blockage. Fun hey!

This year for our Christmas family gathering we all headed off to the Forest of Dean. First we had a very nice and very large lunch in the Miners Arms and then went to Clearwell Caves to visit Santa. The caves are actually a combination of natural caves and extensive mine workings. The mining dates...
