Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
That was quite a weekend! Dominated by our 10th Wedding Anniversary celebrations. We decided ages ago that we’d like to have a bit of a party for our 10th anniversary and get people together so that we’d remember it. You know how these things are, a simple barbeque in the back garden was planned, nothing...
Phew, we have been busy! It was our 10th wedding anniversary the other day so we’re throwing a bit of a garden party. Guests have been invited and many are coming from far afield so we though we should make an effort as well. I’ve been working on the garden for weeks in preparation for...
With my JOGLE attempt approaching quicker than it should be and time running out, I’ve been trying to get a longer ride in each week just to start preparing my body for so much time in the saddle. Finding the time for such rides isn’t easy though and so far I’ve only managed 4 such rides. The...
Those of you who have been being attentive will know that my next challenge is ‘JOGLE’, which is an acronym for John O’Groats to Lands Ends. Yes, starting at the end of the month I will be attempting to cycle from John O’Groats to Lands End in order to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research...
With my trip to Kitzbuhel and the Austrian Alps coming to an end I thought I should do at least one sightseeing tour in order to take in some of the scenery outside of Kitzbuhel. The weather forecast for today wasn’t great either so I thought if I was out and about, even if on...
I’ve been lucky enough to have Pete Jenkins writing a training schedule for me each month over the past couple of years. It’s nice to have and I tend to follow such a plan if someone else has written it. For a start I don’t have to spend time coming up with a plan myself...
Day 5 of my trip to Kitzbuhel and with my bike in transit back to Wales I’d have to rely on my feet for entertainment and transport today. I was up early, 3am to be exact so went for a nice early morning run at around 5am. Running Kitzbuhel There are loads of really well-marked...
Day 4 of my trip to Kitzbuhel was here and with my race over and my ascent of the Kitzbuheler Horn complete, it was time to relax some more and support Helen and Andrea in their races. I started the day nice and early with a few geocaches in the town of Kitzbuhel before having...
Now that my race was over, it was time to enjoy my holiday in the Austrian Alps. This of course means starting the day with a big breakfast, and with the exceptional food on offer at Hotel Jagerwirt this wasn’t going to be a problem. A pot of coffee A bowl of Alpen with mixed...
I’ve now had time to play with some of my photos taken in Austria… I just can’t get enough of this view from the shores of Lake Schwarzsee. Not a bad photo taken on an iPhone 4 either.
