Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Morgan was at home with me again today so we had a morning of MTB action planned. We first had to collect my car from the garage where it had been having some surgery to get it through the MOT: New exhaust centre section New Tail Pipe New brake pipes New brake fluid New Anti-roll...
The Scouts have been keeping us busy lately (as per usual) but at least we now feel as new Scout Leaders that we are getting to grips with the programme and have some control over what is going on. It’s taken a while and there have been quite a few changes at Borth 2nd Scouts...
Guess I’d better spend the day clearing up the carnage made by Anna and Morgan whilst making pancakes last night!. Looks as though they had fun though and there were a pile of pancakes waiting for me when I got back for circuits and swimfit. Mmmmmm.
I really need to get out into the garden and start some Spring clearing; Dead wood needs cutting back, the shrubs and hedges all need a trim, moss, grass and weeds need removing from the flower beds, the water feature needs a clean and service, the beds and borders could do with a fork and...

Just after I started working as a Freelance Website Designer here in West Wales, I decided that due to the fact that I wouldn’t have a company pension scheme that I should put some money away each month that could act as a pension. Some went into a standard ISA savings account, although most of...
Ynyslas last week 22nd Jan 2013 – Sub-zero temperatures, grey skies and snow drifts – Great fun, we love the snow. Ynyslas this week 31st Jan 2013 – 10°C, blue skies, blowing a hoolie and wild waves – Great fun, we love the wind and sun! I wonder what next week will have in store...
