Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The nice weather looks as though it will take a turn on Wednesay so I’ve been busy making the most of it and trying to get on top of things in the garden. I’m just about there as well as far as the back garden goes. All the dead growth has been tidied up and...
My parents are here visiting for the weekend so yesterday after our ride at Nant yr Arian I jumped on the Turbo Trainer for an hour of 14 Ramps ranging from 120% to 150% of FTP whilst they went for a walk in the dunes. Here’s what I did: In the meantime Morgan ‘Ninny’ and Grandad...
I really need to get out into the garden and start some Spring clearing; Dead wood needs cutting back, the shrubs and hedges all need a trim, moss, grass and weeds need removing from the flower beds, the water feature needs a clean and service, the beds and borders could do with a fork and...

I still haven’t managed to get any really good photos of the birds that have been in the garden during the snow. I’m not really patient enough to sit out there hidden away somewhere so I’ve taken a few photos through the conservatory windows instead. They aren’t the cleanest conservatory windows at the moment so the...
Another day and another snowman – although the snow here at sea level is now beginning to disappear. Still loads in the hills though.
We had quite a bit more snow here last night so after breakfast there was nothing for it but to head out into the garden and then over to the beach and the golf course for a play in it. All the fun and games was followed by a delicious ‘Epic Hot Chocolate’ complete...
