Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Saturday was a rare day with all of us at home with nothing really on the agenda. Morgan and I started it with an early morning walk in the dark. We went over to the beach, along the pebbles, through the dunes, up to the viewpoint, down to the visitor centre and then back home. I...
We may live and learn in an exceptional environment. We may love Aber and the surrounding area. Anna and I may both work at the University. However, I think using one of the Universities ‘Love Aber’ slogans and symbols for our Halloween pumpkin art is taking things just a little too far!
