Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I treated myself to a day out geocaching yesterday. A good excuse to play with some of my Xmas presents and enjoy the winter sunshine. Before I go any further I should of course thank Anna for looking after Morgan all day long and letting me go out to play. I started off with a...
Since Anna, Morgan and I accidently started geocaching eariler this year, quite a few of our friends have started doing it too and Brad and Eloise got around to doing their first cache a couple of days ago. I know it sounds silly looking for plastic containers in the woods or on top of hills,...
I’ll soon be releasing my first travel bug on the world. It is activated and ready to go. What’s a Travel Bug? Basically it is a special item that you place in a geocache and send off on a mission. When other geocachers come across them, they move them from cache to cache and the...
Well, we have completed the Wildcat Geocache. I can’t say too much about it here or even post any photos as I don’t want to give too much away, but we actually found it a little easier than we were expecting which in the end was a bit of a disappointment as we were prepared...
Well, I guess I should wish myself a Happy Birthday here just in case no one else does (I think Anna has lost the ability to blog!), and of course at the same time thank everyone for my cards and presents…. Thank-You!. It was a lovely day here today, the sun was shining, the wind...
Despite spending a fair bit of time looking for cars at the weekend we did manage an hour or so putting a few pieces of the wildcat geocache together. We managed to find all but one of the figures required for the coordinates of cahce 4. We didn’t actually have to visit all of the...
Those of you who have been keeping up with our Simple Life of Luxury will know that we have been enjoying a spot of geocaching lately. So, as we are of to visit family in Gloucestershire in the run up to Christmas we looked up some caches in that area and have been tempted by...
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’ve been ill this week, so instead of spending my spare time out windsurfing and general enjoying the Welsh coast and countryside I’ve been keeping warm and snug at home and have spent some time playing with the image generating capabilities of PHP. I decided to build a ‘stats sticker’ that members of my Forces-of-Nature...
Yet another action packed Welsh Weekend. Saturday was as good as it gets as far as windsurfing is concerned and Steve and I had an excellent day on the water. Full windsurf diary entry here. Saturday evening was spent having dinner and quite a bit of wine with Dave and Sarah. We then made an...
