Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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...
I’ve just noticed lots of hits on my post about the Aberystwyth Fun Fair last year, which reminded me that it must be time for it again. I’m not 100% sure the dates of the 2010 fair, but it is normally on the 1st Monday after the 12th of November and the subsequent 2 Mondays...
I really should have done this before, but I rarely use my mobile phone and therefore rarely top it up. In fact, most people probably laugh at my old-fashioned phone, but it makes phonecalls when I need it to and I can’t afford an Apple iPhone so I’m sticking with it for now. Anyway, it’s...
What a gorgeous day for a walk in the woods around RSPB Ynyshir as part of a Fungi Foray. Gorgeous blue skies, no wind and a bit of a nip in the air. Apparently we were a little late in the season for many of the edible mushrooms and some of the ones we found...
My new favourite things! Not a lot I can say about them other than the fact they look like wetsuit boots with holes in the soles, but they help keep my feet toasty whilst out on winter rides and for that reason I love them! I’ve yet to use them on a really cold wet...
My trusty Garmin Forerunner 305 decided to give up the ghost last week so I’ve now ordered a new one – I couldn’t quite decide which model to go for but in the end stuck with the Forerunner 305 and managed to get quite a bargain on it. Recommended retail price is £199.99, but last...
Winter is definitely on it’s way, there’s a frost here this morning and temperatures dropped below freezing (-1ºC) for the first time this winter. Yesterday was similar, clear skies and a lovely sunny, crisp autumnal day so we loaded up the car with bikes and headed off to Coed y Brenin. Anna and Morgan had...
Honestly! I am! I know, who’d have thought it that as I approach my 40th birthday I’d become a model in a nude calendar, whatever next! Unfortunately (or probably fortunately for most of you), I can’t show you any of the photos yet as it is being sold to raise money for the ITU and...
