Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Another callaborative post for you today with loads of tips for backpacking. Wish I’d done a little more travelling when I was younger, but I guess it’s never too late to start and now I have a family to share it with. Tips for backpacking Backpacking is all about adventure, travelling and meeting new people...
My old 4×4 Mitsubishi Shogun Sport that I bought back in 2006 was beginning to look a little worse for wear. Living where we do by the sea, anything metal tends to rust quite readily. Rust spots and stains show up quite well on a white car too so it was looking a little old and...
We had a nice day at home for Morgan’s birthday – a bit more chilled than a typical day with Alan but we had fun all the same. It started with lego building then we were off to feed the chickens. Morgan was very impressed to find an egg and even more impressed that we...
The Met office have upgraded the weather warning for Ceredigion to ‘Red’ – The highest level for severe weather warnings which means there is a risk to life and that people in the affected areas should ‘Take Action” During this afternoon a swathe of exceptionally strong winds is expected to affect western parts of Wales...
To herald what will hopefully soon be the onset of Spring I thought I’d go with little – well actually quite big when you think about it – Ladybirds on my toes for a while. I hope you like my ladybird toenails?
A couple more photos from our beach photo walk on Sunday. This time of the sea wall at Ynyslas. Kind of sums up the slightly bleak but still beautiful part of West Wales that we live in. It may not be to everyone’s taste but we like it here and especially like the drive from...
Hooray, we survived the North Ceredigion Scouts Patrol Leader Camp! The Welsh weather did it’s best to defeat us, but failed. In fact we were lucky whilst setting up on Friday night as it wasn’t raining and we were treated to a glorious clear night with very little wind either. Saturday was quite wet all day mind...
Well, the Ynyslas flood alert seems to have been justified. High tide has been and gone, but the swell is still increasing so waves are still over-topping the sea defences here. The River Leri has burst it’s banks and the road between Ynyslas and Tre Ddol is closed due to flooding. Things are looking fairly...
Amazon.co.uk Widgets I haven’t really done much proper photography lately. These things do tend to wax and wane though so no doubt I’ll go on some photo-walks soon and get back into it. One of the reasons has been that my array of lenses has been less than ideal for a while. Originally for my...
It seems like ages until the 2014 European Triathlon Championships in Kitzbühel next June, but hotel rooms seem to be selling out quickly and everyone seems to have booked their trips, so I thought I’d better get on with it as well. I’m sure I could get cheaper deals by leaving it until the last minute,...
