Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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...
I managed to go out looking for yet another geocache today, it did only take about half an hour but it beats working! Actually I had planned to go windsurfing as well this afternoon but the wind was gusty and I felt ill so I didn’t bother. The wind is looking good for the weekend...
