Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As you probably know I’m quite a gadget hound and and Apple fanboy. I have gadgets all over the place, not just computers, iPads and iPods, but GPS devices, Sat Navs and numerous training devices. In fact my triathlon training would barely be possible without electronic gadgets as I use my Garmin Forerunner 910XT on every...
It looks as though June has brought with it the arrival of summer. So, here’s a few pretty photos from the garden.
The plant stall that the Scouts had at the Borth Charities Fete went well at the weekend. After clearing out the greenhouse and sowing lots of seeds we had been diligently watering and tending to the plants ready for the fete. It was all a bit rushed as we only had about a month between...
Following on from my post yesterday about letting my diet slip a little, this doesn’t really help matters! It’s a banana and chocolate cake that I baked yesterday to use up some bananas that we had left over from the Scout camp. Trouble is it only actually used 2 bananas which is fine, but the...
I knew it would happen.. Less than three weeks to go until the European Triathlon Champs and I blew my healthy eating regime on Scout Camp. Shed loads of sweets, chocolate and cakes, far too much bread and loads of sausages! Thankfully it was only a couple of days and we’d taken plenty of fruit and...
Phew, we survived – and as far as I know the Scouts enjoyed themselves too. We have all just got back from a Scout camp that Anna and I organised. Since becoming Scout Leaders we have been on a couple of camps but this was the first one that we had organised and run on...
I still feel silly calling myself an athlete, even if it is a triathlete, but I’ve been fairly fortunate lately and have been feeling almost like a real one. Things have been quiet on the work front – quiet enough so as to have some financial worries – but on the plus side it has meant that there...
On the way to Devils Bridge on Sunday Morgan informed me that it was National Baking Day, (in fact I think it is National Baking Week), so once we got back from Devils Bridge in the afternoon there was nothing for it but to do some baking… I know, I know, we should of had plenty of...
We have a guest post for you today from Jet2, all about Magnificent Malaga… Malaga is the perfect place to go if you’re after a break from all this chilly British weather! It’s got lots more to offer than beaches and sunshine, although it does have plenty of that too. On top of the typical...
We had a good day yesterday and once again a busy one, just the way I like it. My day started at 4am when I got up and started some early morning baking and cleaning. Once Morgan was up and the baking was all under control I stopped for some breakfast and watched Gardeners World...
