Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I know I’ve already posted about it a couple of times but I still can’t get over the fact that we have a full-on igloo in the garden here in Wales. It makes me giggle every time I see it. It’s become a bit of a tourist attraction too as we’ve now had a number...
I spent another comfortable night in the igloo in our back garden last night. It might not be quite as confortable and warm as my real bed but I won’t get many chances to sleep in an igloo in the garden again so I thought that I may as well. The weather has taken its...
We had some snow last night and with the Christmas Lights on it’s looks lovely out there. If only it were Christmas tomorrow, not next week.
Well, I’m now 40 years old and have just got back from a great weekend away in North Wales to celebrate the fact that I’ve made it to this milestone (relatively) unscathed. We drove up on Friday afternoon with Dave and Sarah following behind us, stopped off at Treetop Adventure in betws y Coed to...
The first copy of our printed weblog arrived yesterday. It was a bit of an experiment as I’d never used Blurb for printing before and I had to use a fairly convoluted method to produce the pdf for printing. In the end it involved creating the book in Pages and then exporting it as a...

I noticed yet another new geocache in the area on Wednesday. I took a look at it but it was a puzzle and as I was feeling ill I didn’t really have the brain power to solve it. I sent it to Anna as an e-mail and pretty soon she had an answer for me,...
As I mentioned a few days ago we’ve been replacing the carpet in our living room and dining room. It was a cheap carpet in the first place and had faded badly so it was time for a new one. Whilst at it we thought we’d redecorate the rooms too as it has to be...
Morgan and I had a pleasant walk on Sunday morning and found a few geocaches too. It was a fairly cold, grey day but nice enough for an easy walk behind Bow Street. We started off doing a series of caches called ‘Borrick Blunder’ and listed as a geokid circular walk. Hidden by ‘nitroglysarine‘ they sounded...
