Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Whilst in Plymouth, Morgan and I had a ‘ride’ on a London Eye style big wheel perched atop the Hoe. The wheel was almost 60 metres in height, twice as high as Smeatons tower so provided some amazing views down onto the Hoe and out across both Plymouth Sound and the city of Plymouth. It...
Everyone knows that my memory for past events isn’t great and when family conversations turn to things we used to do I seem to have lived in a separate world to everyone else, never quite being able to remember anything that we did.

Beekeeping I’m getting excited about our bees because they are coming next month. I’ve already had a practise at Ann’s house where I had a go with the smoker, got to wear my bee suit and we had a look at Ann’s bees. Easter Holidays I’ve been off school for Easter. The Easter Bunny came and he left me...
