Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
After a morning working in the garden we headed off to make the most of the sunshine with a little family stroll around Ynyslas. This was all in an attempt to get Morgan off the computer and out into the real world! We didn’t want to put him off though as he’d only get grumpy and...
Just a few photos from what turned out to be a Sunny Sunday Spin on our bikes this morning. It started off grey and cold as we got our excuses in at the leisure centre. We then took a circuitous route out of Aberystwyth along the cycle path and then onto the road to Llanilar....

We all therefore went into school and work for a few hours on Friday morning and then headed off in the car to Theatre Felinfach, about an hours...
I couldn’t continue with my Wales Coast Path run today, so instead I created an adventure of a different type and decided to try running the length of the River Leri from source to sea. A Change of Plan My usual plan of a turbo trainer session followed by a Coast Path run had to...

Storm Imogen has been raging all day. We knew it was coming and the winds and rains started last night, they soon reached the stage where we could no longer hear the TV over the noise of the storm so we retired to bed hoping for the best, having had various flood warnings. We’ve had...
