Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We got to try out our latest pack of spices from thespicery.com yesterday, and once again we were impressed. What’s in the Box? The pack arrived last Friday and contained a whole host of spice sachets and recipe cards. In the little box was: A recipe kit for Singapore Noodles, along with a sachet of sauce...
A couple more photos from our beach photo walk on Sunday. This time of the sea wall at Ynyslas. Kind of sums up the slightly bleak but still beautiful part of West Wales that we live in. It may not be to everyone’s taste but we like it here and especially like the drive from...
Just some pretty pictures of the Groynes at Ynyslas from our beach photo walk on Sunday, I hope you like them. We should get out for photo-walks in the local area more really as it’s always nice to spend time outside and to get some good photos for the weblog in the process. It’s surprising...
A photo from our beach photo walk earlier today, and probably my favourite, a lovely photo showing how nice Ynyslas can look even in February.
Morgan and I have just got back from a nice little photo walk along the beach. Nothing too exciting, just a little stroll to see how it was looking today. I’ll save the better photos for another post, but as per usual it was fairly breezy over there which just helped to highlight how much...
Hooray, we survived the North Ceredigion Scouts Patrol Leader Camp! The Welsh weather did it’s best to defeat us, but failed. In fact we were lucky whilst setting up on Friday night as it wasn’t raining and we were treated to a glorious clear night with very little wind either. Saturday was quite wet all day mind...

We have also been advised by Ceredigion County Council that the expected local conditions and high winds will be a problem around tomorrow mornings high tide at 8.41 a.m....
No, we aren’t being evacuated again, not yet anyway, but the students are being evacuated from the seafront halls. All lectures and seminars have been cancelled in the university for Friday and Monday and students have been told to leave seafront halls by 4pm on Friday in preparation for the battering we’re likely to get...
The last battering we had from the weather a few weeks ago destroyed the seafront in Aberystwyth and made quite a mess of Borth and Ynyslas and resulted in us being evacuated from our house for the night. It looks as though it could all be repeated again this weekend. The storm a few weeks...
Well, that has been a stressful few days thanks to website and hosting issues, which is also my excuse for not posting anything here for a few days. I don’t think anyone is still quite sure what went wrong, but the server upon which my sites and many of my clients sites are hosted decided to...
