Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
More summer fun at Ynyslas as the summer starts to come to a close. A nice long walk first thing in the morning as the sun rose. Followed by A SUP Surf and some more tandem surfing with Morgan – So much fun! After a little bit of pottering in the garden and the shed...
I know I usually try to have an action packed weekend making the most of what Wondrous West Wales has to offer but this weekend was particularly good. It started on Friday with my usual early morning walk around the dunes and then a trip into town. Anna had a few chores and some shopping...
One of the main reasons for our North Wales camping trip was to visit Portmeirion. Anna and I had want to go to Portmeirion for a while and Morgan had been enthused with the idea after hearing that the Italianate village was apparently a hotspot for rare Pokémon. We therefore and pleasant, relaxing day soaking in...
Anna and I were off work on Friday, so we made a last minute decision to go away for a couple of days. We didn’t have too many plans and things were a bit rushed, but camping on Anglesey was chosen. I found what looked like a nice campsite and made the necessary bookings. The weather looked...
The lovely summer weather seems to have deserted us as usual for the school holidays. This is a shame really as I have loads of time off work thinks to the fact that I worked lots of overtime earlier in the year, so I’ve been at home with Morgan. We haven’t been put off by...
So today, me and daddy went on a Pokémon hunt. It was a really productive day, we got 8 new Pokémon registered to the pokédex, we got 20 more gold coins, a level up and some really high CP Pokémon. The new Pokémon we got were: Slowpoke Mankey Poliwhirl Onix Gloom Lickitung Butterfree Nidorino Our Pokémon...
Pokémon Go is all the rage at the moment and we’ve jumped on the bandwagon with it. Mind you, we managed to tie it in with a full day of digital treasure hunting on Saturday. To start with we were trying to gain a geocaching souvenir by doing a geocache that had at least 10...
I thought I’d jump on the band wagon and play Pokemon Go. I’ve never played any other Pokemon game before and know nothing about Pokemon but as it has taken off like nothing else before it and it sounded a little like geocaching I thought it would be worth a try. Not so, it just doesn’t...
The school holidays are on their way, but with a sudden change in the weather it was hot and sunny on Monday so we had to make the most of it. After school it was straight to the beach for some fun in the sun. Fun in the Sun Let us hope this weather continues...
That was a good day, especially as it was only Friday and not even the weekend. Up early as usual after a poor nights sleep for an hour or so of work on the computer and then off for a fairly hard 70 minute run from home. It shouldn’t have been that hard as it wasn’t...
