Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Our summer of long weekends continued last weekend with a trip to Scotland, camping on the shores of Loch Lomond. The primary objective of the trip was for Morgan to visit his friend Cameron who moved up here earlier in the year, but we obviously wanted to enjoy the scenery too. The Drive Up –...
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...
It’s been a while since I posted an aquarium update here, so time to make amends. It’s been a bit of a mixed bag really. The fish and shrimps are doing well as are some of the plants. The Anubias are growing well and looking good. The moss is growing like mad and most of the...
Morgan and others having fun in a hot tub at Jo and Danny’s 10th wedding anniversary party that we went to on Saturday.
Hooray, we completed our 2015 Geocaching Road Trip yesterday and earned ourselves the bonus ‘Road Trip Hero’ souvenir. As usual, this little challenge took us to some nice places and some fun times. As a recap, the 2015 Geocaching Road Trip ran between June 19th and September 2nd during which time we had to find five...

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...
After our visit to Bodnant Garden, and a day at Surf Snowdonia, we drove to Welshpool for the afternoon and then headed off to a field in the middle of nowhere near Llanfair Caereinion to meet some geocachers at a geocaching event. Now, we’ve said it before, but caching events aren’t really our thing. We...
Once again we were having a ‘pre-weeked weekend away’ – We’re enjoying these, a couple of days away before the weekend and then a weekend to chill and get on top of chores at home. After a day at Bodnant Gardens, Conwy and Llandudno on Thursday we drove back along the A55 in the pouring rain...
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...
