Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We didn’t get huge amounts of snow here, but it did start snowing quite heavily whilst Morgan and I were out Mountain Biking yesterday at Pendam. Once we’d finished biking and got into the car it came down really heavily again so Morgan took a quick video clip of the snowstorm as I drove along...
Just a few quick clips of Morgan flying his kite at Ynyslas on Sunday afternoon.
Holiday time!!! if you can call cycling the length of Britain from John O’Groats to Lands End a ‘holiday’.. Or driving it for that matter as that’s what Anna will be doing acting as support crew along with Morgan. Before we could do that though we had the small matter of driving North to John...

There’s very little to be said about this – other than the fact that we did raise some money for charity. I’m still not sure whether we were from the 70’s, the 60’s or just making  a bad fashion statement.
On Thursday I went to the Llain Activity Centre. Â I’ve been there before with cubs but this time I went with my friend. Â We started with climbing and I was the fastest in my group then we did archery. After lunch was what I was looking forward to the most though because we were doing...
