Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’ve been using Dropbox for a while as a really useful way of sharing files with clients, friends and family. It’s very clever in the way it works with a nice little menu item on my computer that links directly to my local dropbox folder. Anything I put in that folder get automatically synced to...
The Chamomile Shark moth that I caught last month has made it to the BBC. Article here and Slideshow here. Hopefully the article will encourage a few more people to buy a moth trap and start moth trapping in Ceredigion, or prompt people who have been recording moths in the county to submit them to...
National Moth night is this coming weekend, May 15th to be precise. It is an annual event that is the UK’s celebration of moths and moth recording. The date varies each year to focus recording efforts on different parts of the season. To take part in National Moth Night 2010 all you need to do...
It seems as though the photos of the mating pair of Dasystoma salicella moths I took at the weekend have been in demand. I posted one of them on a forum and immediately had a couple of people ask if they could use it for their own personal records. Obviously I didn’t mind and sent...
As you may know from recent posts I’ve started moth trapping and have been part of the formation of the Ceredigion Moth Group. It’s all a little ‘geeky’ but I quite enjoy the moth trapping, as does Morgan and learning more about the creatures around us is always a good thing. Keeping records of them...
As well as attracting lots of wildlife to your garden, a wildlife garden also gives you an excuse to be a bit lazy with the gardening from time to time! It isn’t just about bird boxes and ponds; just as important are areas of unkempt garden and piles of logs and sticks. We don’t have...
I came across a weblog written by another local resident the other day. I can’t remember how it came to my attention, probably through a ‘Google Alert’ in my inbox, but it was well written with lots of local interest so I had a look through it and then to my surprise found a photo...
It has been a long standing joke in our family that until I was quite old I didn’t realise that Arboretums are where you go to look at trees, I always thought it was where you go to looks at ducks! There is some reasoning behind all of this in that the arboretum on the...
OK, OK, don’t get too excited you won’t be seeing us on the TV! After our recent trip to the Isle of Man I was contacted by someone at the BBC on the island to write a little article about our experiences geocaching on the Isle of Man. I did, and it is now live...
Whilst trawling the internet I came across a recent blog post by Elaine Nicholles about her holiday to Borth. Part of the post says: The weather was bad mostly. The laptop died on the first day. I didn’t feel well for some of the time. I only had one shower. I was pretty smelly in...
