Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As I’m sure you know by now we are at last having a proper summer. It’s been a while coming -10 years since the last one as far as we can remember – but it’s here and looks set to stay for a while too. Weather conditions have been perfect here in West Wales. Whilst...
Part of Saturdays activities included a visit to Penparcau Summer Fete as Anna was plying in the Sliver Band there. It was a glorious day for a fete, clear blue skies, warm with just a light cooling breeze and there was plenty going on. The band was playing, there were competitions and stalls all around...
Cool… “Tour de Nuun” prize has just arrived… Thanks to Triblogs and Nuun Hydration. Which one shall I try first?
Yep, that’s right, we’ve now had a whole week of summer – amazing I know, but true.

How long can this weather continue? Yesterday was Day 6 of Summer 2013 and once again we had wall to wall sunshine, light winds and a glorious day. Temperatures topped out at 23.1°C.

I’m in the paper again this week. That’s two weeks, possibly three, in a row. Shame there’s no sign of a celebrity lifestyle to go with it!
What better way to start the day than a hill-reps induced endorphin rush! A 50 minute hilly run was on the training plan and seeing as it is a 20 minute run to the nearest hills I usually drive to the foot of them and run from Borth. My car is in the garage being...
I have a guest post for you today which includes some items from John Lewis – I hope Anna and Morgan read it as they could learn something from it. Mind you, if I took action on the first of the 12 tips ‘tackle the source’ I’d evicting the pair of them from the house!...
As we got to actually enjoy the garden a little over the weekend I thought I’d share some of it with you.
