Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As we’ve just had a weekend I thought was time for a round-up of what’s been going on. I could probably write a separate blog post about each of these things but in reality each only needs a paragraph or two and I don’t have photos to accompany most of them so a quick catch-up...

Our 20th-anniversary celebrations continued at the weekend with a mini-break at Penamenuchaf Hall. It’s not far away from us but we hadn’t been there before so it was the ideal place for a little treat and a night away. We left just after lunch on Friday and had intended to go for a stroll somewhere...
Our pottery classes are coming to an end so it’s been a little difficult to decide what to do next as there doesn’t seem to be much point starting new projects as we won’t have time to finish them – it takes weeks what with drying time, firing time, decorations, glazes and a second firing....

Given my busy week at work, I decided to make the most of Friday by getting out and doing something active. A walk in the hills with an overnight camp sounded fun, but I didn’t want to drive too far. So, I checked out the local hills. Instead of revisiting familiar spots, I used SummitBag...
I hadn’t been windsurfing for a while, and it wasn’t just because of unsuitable conditions. A mix of the occasional illness, a few injuries, and a desire to avoid further injuries kept me off the water. The main reason, though, was always having something else planned when the wind was perfect. Windsurfing is also the...
We had a hectic day for us on Saturday – we don’t usually see anybody but it seemed as though everyone descended on us at one point. An almost public spanking First our septic tank pump stopped working so we got in touch with Celtic Waste and in no time at all ‘Smithy’ was here...
Most of our time was spent decorating some of our pottery creations whilst at out pottery ‘class’ this week. I’ve decided that Anna’s is better at this part of the process than I am!
Seeing as it’s now been just over a year since we decided (on somewhat of a whim) to create a pond in the garden, I thought I’d update you on its progress. It was always intended as a ‘wildlife’ pond. That’s an excuse for letting it go a bit wild, leaving it to do its...
