Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
While we were in New Zealand we came across a lemon, honey and ginger cordial drink. You could have it hot, cold, as an ice-cream topping, with fizzy water…however you fancy and it was lovely. We tried to find some to bring home but after seeing it everywhere couldn’t seem to find any on our...
Yes, in case you were wondering I do have festive feet, tinselly toes, decorated digits – whatever you want to call them really!
This is what happens when you leave a bright red serviette in your pocket and then wash your trousers! Well done Al…better ask Father Christmas for a new pair of jeans!
Things aren’t looking good on the bee front. They didn’t do too well over the summer – we lost some swarms, one colony straved to death and other colonies failed to re-queen so we went into the winter with just one strong colony and one weak colony. I’ve just been out to feed them and...

OK, we haven’t been out running, cycling and swimming everyday but we have been there in the background supporting away since he qualified for the World Championships back in May. I’ve made sure he has all the healthy snacks he needs...
Too clever by far!!! Nice to see some shots of unconventional riding in Bristol too.
That weekend didn’t quite go as well as planned. Most things were fine. Friday evenings MTB ride with the Scouts went well. Despite the torrential rain all day long it stopped just before we set off and we had a good ride around the Pendam Trail. I was then off on a rifle shooting tutors...
