Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
OK, as promised in my recent post, here’s the chocolate cheesecake recipe that I made up at the weekend. Needless to say, the fact that I’m sharing it means that it worked and tasted ‘kinda nice’! But I’ll let you be the judge of that, you’ll just have to make one to try it. Ingredients 150g...
While chopping up our first batch of baby courgettes from the garden for tea last night I came across this one with mini three legs of man inside. They are definitely from Wales but it is nice to see and bit of the Isle of Man cropping up when you don’t expect it!
It’s taken a while to get going this year but suddenly the strawberries, black currants, red currants and raspberries are ready to pick and eat. We’ve also picked our first baby courgettes and purple sprouting broccoli. It’s lovely to have food for tea that we have grown ourselves.
I’m in the paper again this week. That’s two weeks, possibly three, in a row. Shame there’s no sign of a celebrity lifestyle to go with it!

We’ve had quite a busy day here in Wales….well, certainly this morning has been hectic. We were up at 5am to cheer Alan on in the European Triathlon Championships in Alanya in Turkey. Morgan and I weren’t able to go due to work and school so have been supporting from home. We had to make...
While Al is away at the European Triathlon Championships in Turkey Morgan is the man of the house, which includes apparently sleeping in my bed….although last night there wasn’t much room for me when I went to bed!
Following on from my post yesterday about letting my diet slip a little, this doesn’t really help matters! It’s a banana and chocolate cake that I baked yesterday to use up some bananas that we had left over from the Scout camp. Trouble is it only actually used 2 bananas which is fine, but the...
