Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We get a little blasé about the sunsets here as we get so many nice ones throughout the year. The colours are always spectacular and it often looks as though the sea is on fire, so here’s a quick snap through the windows from the comfort of the sofa last night. And after a spectacle from...
Another glorious day here on Tuesday so after some work, some chores and checking through the Moth Trap, Morgan and I headed out geocaching. We stopped of at Annamarie’s house first to drop of a cake and a hard drive full of films so that should could watch them whilst eating cake during her recovery...
Another fun day in the sun for us yesterday here in glorious Mid Wales. A usual early start for me to get some work done and then off to work for Anna as well. Meanwhile Morgan and I headed into Borth with the Stand-up Paddleboard and our snorkelling kit. Conditions were perfect, the air temperature...
We’ve done it again… Gone away on Thursday and Friday which means that when we return late on Friday evening with a weekend before us, it feels as though we’ve already had a weekend away. Whilst away we had a whistle-stop tour of North Wales. Geocaches around Dolgellau and Blaneau on the way up, a...
After our quick trip to Bristol and a lovely morning watching the mass ascent at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta, I decided to cycle much of the way home. I drove from Bristol into Wales and on towards Crickhowell. Anna doesn’t really like driving on motorways so with the main roads done an onto typical welsh...
Another day of the school holidays and it started grey and dreary, but Morgan and I were undeterred and decided to head off towards Aberaeron in search of a 5* difficulty geocache so that we could get another ‘Summer Road Trip’ souvenir. We’d spotted a 5* difficulty cache in Aberaeron which would do nicely as...
The Kerry Ridgeway – I’d never really heard much about it before and had never been there, but whilst looking for a suitable series of geocaches to find it cropped up in our searches and so an adventure was planned. Once again, geocaching was about to take us to a spectacular part of the country...
As I think I’ve already mentioned, rather than having a proper family holiday this year Anna and I are taking several days here and there off work so that we can have lots of long weekends. Last weekend was just such a weekend and we were heading towards Bristol for a large ‘Cole Family Picnic’. Friday started...
Whilst Morgan and I were out on our geocaching walk on Tuesday I received a phonecall from someone at a nearby up-market hotel. They had a swarm of bees and wanted to know what they could do about it. I obviously offered to go around and collect them later that evening. It was all a bit...
Monday was very wet and windy and almost wintry in nature. I managed a nice windsurf session though and then we all headed out in Aberystwyth and for a drive around the local country lanes setting up a treasure hunt for the Scouts. The plan is to invite the community to take part in the...
