Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As I mentioned the other day, the Scouts are beginning to get used to Anna and I and I think they secretly like the fact that we are their leaders. Things are obviously easier for us over the summer in some respects as the light evenings mean that we can actually get out and do...
Another busy day yesterday and with such long days I tend to start at around 4:30am as the sunrise wakes me up. It started off with lots of computer work as I have a new website design project that I’m working on. It’s nice to get the creative juices flowing again and I’m quite enjoying...

Came across this today – Playmobil stopmotion surfing…..simply awesome!
Just got back from a surf session – Yep, it was cold! The waves were really nice though so it had to be done. I’d like to say that it was lovely out there and once I was in the water it wasn’t that cold, but that would be lying. My hands were in agony...
