Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Those of you who know me will be aware that I am not quite a sporty as Al and I have to admit that since having Morgan my activity levels have dropped off considerably. I keep meaning to do something about it but there always seems to be something else more urgent to do than...
I don’t often write about work here as this is a personal weblog but when you’re self-employed it is sometimes hard to get away from work. It is always there, I am the business and there’s no getting away from myself, however hard I try. It is therefore always good to remind myself why I’m...
When Simon the windsurfer turned up on the door step with blood gushing from a wound on his head I was fairly ashamed that all I could find to stem the flow of blood was a bit of old tracksuit trousers from the rag bag under the sink! They were clean but not really ideal!...
As part of Emma’s 30th birthday celebrations and to burn off some of the calories from the previous evenings meal we all headed off for a walk up Cadair Idris on Sunday. There were about 12 of us in total. We started from the Minfford car park and headed up the steps and on to...
We’re definitely getting older! I didn’t think it was that long ago that I used to go out quite a bit in Abersystwyth, but clearly it’s longer than I thought! We did go out on Saturday night but all the pubs seem to have changed their names and we were back home and in bed...
The glorious cold, but sunny weather is back and I finally managed to get everyone out of the house for a little walk at the Ynyshir RSPB reserve. Morgan took some persuading as he seems to be addicted to ‘Club Penguin’ on the computer at the moment, but in the end the thought of taking...
I noticed a week or so ago that my MOT had expired on my car, so it was off to the garage to get it done. Things aren’t looking good though, emissions are too high (It’s a 4×4, what do they expect!), brake pipes are leaking and corroded so it’s unsafe to drive, all of...
The record breaking low temperatures and snowfall of December have gone and in its place we have rain, rain and yet more rain. The whole of West Wales seems to have been plunged into a great big bowl of mist and murk and it’s not at all pleasant out there. Bring back the freezing temperatures...
Just a short video clip from our trip to see Santa on the Talyllyn Railway Santa Special.
Our annual trip to see Santa this year was aboard the Santa Special at the Talyllyn Railway. We had down this a couple of years ago and enjoyed it so thought we’d join a group of Morgan’s friends and do it again. The recent snowy weather was going to make it a very scenic train...
