Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
For those of you who think that Borth is a grey, dreary place where the sun never shines – You’re Wrong! Just take a look at what the sun here has done to our once orange carpet. It’s turned it green. Admittedly it was a fairly inexpensive carpet as we couldn’t afford much more after...
Yes, another night and another bonfire party and fireworks display, that seems to be all we’ve done lately. Last night was the turn of the annual party at Dave and Sarah’s, our next door neighbours. As per usual it was full of their friends, most of whom are from Borth and Ynyslas and most of...
We had a busy night last night, but got to see the Aberystwyth Round Table fireworks. We didn’t pay to go in as we’d paid to see the Machynlleth fireworks display last weekend, it was pouring with rain and we have a bonfire party to go to tonight as well. So, we though we’d watch...
Autumn is here in style. I really do love this time of year. There is lots to do with Halloween, lantern parades, bonfire and firework parties, harvest festivals and plenty going on elsewhere.

As a freelance website designer it’s always difficult to plan your weeks in advance. Some weeks I have little work to do and can do plenty of activities such as running and cycling, other weeks I seem to be rushed off my feet and find myself working long days just to fit everything in. It’s...
Time to cook something with a little more kick than usual!
I enjoyed my swim in Lake Bala yesterday for Diabetes UK Cymru. When I got up the weather looked perfect, sunny spells and no wind at all, but then I looked at the temperature and saw that it was at 2.6ºC – It’s getting chilly out there at night now. By the time we got...
The Autumn Equinox is here. An equinox occurs twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun. This means that the number of daylight hours is the same as the number of darkness hours – 12 hours each. Actually, the equninox...
