Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Morgan quite enjoys his cycling at the moment, so we had an action replay on Monday of the day we had on Friday. Once again it was bilberry picking up at Pendam followed by a picnic, a mountain bike ride and then some more bilberry picking. We went off in search of blackberries as well,...
OK, I know I called them blueberries when we picked them and blueberries when I baked them in muffins but they are in fact bilberries. They are distinct but very similar and it is usually easier to call them blueberries as people know what you talking about then, especially when cooking and eating with them,...
Thought I’d better post here to let you know how my preparations for the Age-Group World Championships are going – We have less than 4 weeks left until race-day so there’s less than available for improvement than you think there is! After the European Champs in Turkey back in June (where I won in my...

We had a busy day yesterday full of all sorts of things. Triathlon Training in the morning, followed by beekeeping in the afternoon. The triathlon training finished a little late so we then had to rush off to Llanafan for a beekeeping meeting. There was no way we’d make it by 2pm so we let them know...
I’ve baked quite a few muffins lately so thought that seeing as we had picked blueberries on Friday that I would make Blueberry Muffins for breakfast on Saturday morning so that Anna could have a nice breakfast in bed. Rather than follow a recipe though I decided to make my own up as I wanted...
With only 4 weeks to go until the Triathlon World Championships in London it’s almost time to start some speedwork in my training. I have until now been doing mainly strength and endurance work and building up my overall fitness. it’s also time to start working on some race specific training such as Brick session....
The school holidays seem to be flying by and the list of things Morgan and I wanted to do during them has barely been touched. We’ve been busy with plenty of other things but thanks to all of this, we haven’t even started on the days of geocaching, mountain biking, surfing, kayaking, gardening, painting and...
Phew, it may be Wednesday but that means the end of a busy long-weekend for us. Saturday and Sunday were fairly normal, but just a little extra busy as we got the house ready for my Sister Trudi to visit along with her boyfriend Mike, and her children Kia and Shaun. We were looking forward...
