Tales from a down-shifted family

The university had an open day at the weekend. Not the usual open day aimed at prospective students, but an open day for locals to see what goes on at the university. We obviously know what goes on, as Anna and I were students there for long enough, Anna has worked there for the past...
Phew, we survived – and as far as I know the Scouts enjoyed themselves too. We have all just got back from a Scout camp that Anna and I organised. Since becoming Scout Leaders we have been on a couple of camps but this was the first one that we had organised and run on...
Open water swim season has officially started again for me… A little later than usual and I’m not sure if that’s because it’s been an unseasonably cold Spring or just that I’m getting soft as I age. However, with a race that includes an open water swim looming in less than 2 weeks I was determined...
Sunday was a nice busy day for us – just for a change! As usual it started fairly early for me at around 6am when I got up, checked e-mails etc. and had some breakfast before heading off to Machynlleth in Anna’s Fiat 500 hire car for a run. My planned session was a fairly easy one...

It looks as though it’s going to be another gorgeous day. The sun is rising over the back garden and I can’t wait to get started. Gardening or the beach, which shall it be?
Fartlek is always a funny word for us and when included with the word ‘windy’ I guess it’s a little funnier, but a fartlek session what I had planned for yesterdays main training session so that’s what I did. For those who don’t know what it means, Wikipedia have it defined as: Fartlek, which means “speed...
We’ve just hit day 10 of our consecutive days geocaching streak… So I thought I’d upload a new version of our stats seeing as we’ve been so prolific over the past few days. There are two versions of the stats both of which show our caching endeavours up to today. Click here for version 1...
