Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
After working yesterday morning whilst it rained outside, it brightened up in the afternoon so I decided to go out for another ride on my new bike and explore some likely looking trails. I set off from home and cycled along the road to Tre’r Ddol and then found a bridle path that I wanted...
Sunday always looked as though it was going to be a little windy, so Impi and Steve had planned to visit Borth for some good old windsurfing in Wales. Steve arrived here around midnight on Saturday and the wind had already started building. By Sunday morning the Borth weather station was showing gusts of up...
Saturday was a miserable day here, grey and damp so we had a family outing to the supermarket and a naughty lunch at MacDonalds! By about 5pm the weather in Borth looked to have cleared a little. It was still grey, still a little damp but at least the rain had stopped, so as I...
We’ve just had another action packed weekend here in Wales. On Saturday Steve and I headed off to the Arenig hills for some geocaching while Anna looked after Morgan and took him to a birthday party in Aberystwyth. Steve and I met up in Bala and then headed North on a little road to the...

Sorry for the lack of posts here recently… It isn’t that we haven’t been doing anything worth writing about but more that we just haven’t had chance to blog. We have however been treating ourselves to a few meals out (and in) lately. It was our wedding anniversary earlier this month and our neighbours Dave...
Sunday dawned wet and miserable, but I decided that I shouldn’t let such weather put me off going for a walk so headed off to the Cadair Idris an an attempt to get First to Find on some geocaches. First stop was at Llyn Cau and by the time I got there I was drenched,...
