Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The date was set, Sunday Dec 17th 2006, location: Brockley Coombe, Fountain Forestry, weapons and silly hats at the ready, the annual Christmas tree hunt was on: Preparation is of course the key to a successful hunt so the first task was to get the whole family suited and booted. It was then off deep...
I’ve had another busy weekend, whilst Anna, Morgan and Pat sheltered from the worst of the weather at home. Saturday was certainlly windy and rainy at times, and Steve nad I had a good days windsurfing here at Ynyslas. As Anna’s mum (Pat) is here, we then made the most of the opportunity of some...
I’m sure I must have mentioned this elsewhere before, but one of the downsides to living here on the edge of Wales is the quality of the utility services. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t live anywhere else and the problems and shortfalls we face are a small price to pay. We don’t really live...

We’ve probably missed the summer, but it is time for some home improvements. Organising these projects always takes me longer than actually getting them done, but some of the timber ready for a new timber deck arrived today. With Shem building it for us (hopefully next week) we could have a nice new decking area...
