Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Progress has been a little slower than expected on the conservatory so far this week because the builders have had some issues with their van so didn’t always have the necessary materials on the replacement van that they had to use. They were also called away this morning to tidy up a few loose ends...
It’s been a frustrating week here in our Simple Life of Luxury. Trying to get through to customer service representatives can be a nightmare. As I mentioned in a previous post, our phone line went down again in exactly the same way that it did at Christmas. We could see the wires hanging off the...
Anna and Morgan are away for the weekend so things have been pretty quiet around the house for me. Things have also remained remarkably tidy which is nice though! Annoyingly our phone line has gone down again. It did this over Christmas and we discovered that a cable had come loose on the telegraph pole...
For those of you keeping up to date with our conservatory build, here’s the latest update. Another nice dry, sunny day for the builders and today they’ve bricked up all of the exterior walls and have also laid the paving slabs around the conservatory.

It was another bright sunny day here for the builders so work has been progressing well. They’ve started on the brickwork and have got on well with it having built both the internal and external walls up to what will be floor level. The bricks seem to match nicely with those on the house so...

When Simon the windsurfer turned up on the door step with blood gushing from a wound on his head I was fairly ashamed that all I could find to stem the flow of blood was a bit of old tracksuit trousers from the rag bag under the sink! They were clean but not really ideal!...
I spent another comfortable night in the igloo in our back garden last night. It might not be quite as confortable and warm as my real bed but I won’t get many chances to sleep in an igloo in the garden again so I thought that I may as well. The weather has taken its...
Whilst out on our little geocaching walk on Sunday we kept out eyes peeled for edible fungi too. I’d love to be able to collect some of the mushrooms and eat them but my identification skills just aren’t good enough and I don’t know enough about them yet. I’m learning though so I may ened...
