Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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,...
I’ve got an other guest post for you today, this time all about taking a cruise for Christmas, which I’m sure would be lovely.

I should really try growing a ‘tache for Movember in order to raise money and support men’s health programmes that combat prostate and testicular cancer. “These programmes, directed by the Movember Foundation, are focused on awareness and education, living with and beyond cancer, and research to achieve our...
Morgan is a bit of a Doctor Who fan – I’ve never seen the appeal myself – and with the new series starting soon he’s been getting a little excited. Not helped by the fact that the Tardis, K9 and a Dalek were at the Arts Centre the other day. We actually know the people...
If you can’t decide which new iMac to get, then the decision process I went through whilst deciding which iMac to buy may just hep you. That’s why I’m sharing it here. Mac vs PC Before you Windows guys tell me to ‘get a PC’, it won’t work. I’ve used Apple Macintosh computers ever since my...
I have to say, I quite like this. It appeals to my sense of order and tidiness. Nice one Morgan!!! Amazon.co.uk Widgets
I’m forever advising clients about online security and the importance of secure, unique passwords, but it is amazing how lax some people can be with their passwords and how blasé they are with regards to online security. The Problem with Passwords Passwords of course aren’t the ideal way of protecting our accounts online for a...
