Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
After yesterdays successful work-life balance day I couldn’t let it slip today so managed yet another good day. I didn’t get up quite so early today, in fact for a change I managed to stay in bed until about 7am. I think yesterdays epic cycle ride must have tired me out! So, after some housework...
We’ve just got back from a ‘proper’ family holiday in Slovenia. We stayed in Kranjska Gora in the NW of the country. It is a small resort town, aimed at snowsports in the winter and wlaking and biking in the summer. We were there at the end of the winter season so the snow wasn’t...
I spent a weekend in North Wales recently and had my first real taste of Youth Hostelling. Steve and I stayed at the Snowdon Ranger Youth Hostel, on the west side of Snowdon. We were in shared room that had 6 beds, but luckily we were the only one in it which was nice. There...
I’ve been doing well with my attempt to get a little fitter, or at least slow down the decline brought on my increasing age! I went for another run yesterday with my Garmin Forerunner 305. I had planned to take it relatively easy and keep my heart rate at around 150bpm, but as usual, the...
OK, we live a ‘simple life of luxury’ here in West Wales, but we are guilty of not really getting away much, simply because we like it here so much. However, family holidays are always nice so we have finally decided to spend some of our hard earned money on a snow-boarding holiday. I’ve done...
As you know my latest gadget which arrived yesterday is a Garmin Forerunner 305, which is a GPS enable Heart Rate Monitor training device. The idea is that when you are out running, cycling or doing any other outdoor activity it tracks your precise position and speed using the GPS and records your heart rate...
Our trip to the lake District continued with an evening in Ambleside. We were stayingat the Ambleside Youth Hostel, which although big and fairly busy was actually quite nice. The room were basic as one would expect from a Youth Hostel but the hostel itself was right on the shores of the lake with amazing...
Steve had the week off this week and wanted to go out for a cycle in the hills. I should really have done some work, but couldn’t resist a day playing on our bikes so we headed off to the hills around 9am. I know, ‘It’s a Hard Life!’, but you only get one life...
Sunday always looked as though it was going to be a little windy, so Impi and Steve had planned to visit Borth for some good old windsurfing in Wales. Steve arrived here around midnight on Saturday and the wind had already started building. By Sunday morning the Borth weather station was showing gusts of up...
Saturday was a miserable day here, grey and damp so we had a family outing to the supermarket and a naughty lunch at MacDonalds! By about 5pm the weather in Borth looked to have cleared a little. It was still grey, still a little damp but at least the rain had stopped, so as I...
