Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It was the first weekend of the half term holidays and Morgan announced that he wanted to do some baking and who am I to argue with him. I left it all up to him and he decided on a recipe for Moon Rocks. We made some moon rocks with dried cherries in, asteroids with...
After to big freeze of last year, the winter of 2011-2012 has been fairly mild. So what does this mean for our honey bees? Well, we had a check on our three hives this winter and things don’t look too bad. It’s difficult to know if bees consume more food in warm winters than in...
Triathlon Training I’m taking my triathlon training a little more seriously this year. I’ve been following a sensible training plan and have just about finished a winter ‘Base Phase’ of training. With my coach we’d been gradually increasing the volume of training over the past couple of months and I’m now just beginning to increase...
It’s been freezing out there today. The temperature only rose to 2°C, but Ivor our local katabatic wind was blowing his socks off all day long. 30-35 knots in the estuary, making it feel bitterly cold out there. So much for my post about the first flowers of spring, it’s now well and truly back...
We may have had some of the coldest temperatures of the winter last week, and the rest of the UK is currently under a blanket of snow and ice, but not so here in West Wales. The temperature hasn’t got anywhere near freezing today, there hasn’t been any snow in sight and even that on...
It was one of Morgan’s best friends birthday parties at the weekend. Kids birthday parties here seem to be fairly active affairs. The main options seem to be a swimming party, a ‘soft-play’ party, a cinema party or a climbing wall party. This one was at the climbing wall at the University followed by a...
Recently the person who ran the local scout group decided to step down and there was a big recruitment drive to get some new leaders in to prevent the troop folding. Out local scout troop has an active beaver, cub, scout and explorer section which covers ages from 5 up to 18. Boys and girls...
My training plan today had me doing a 70 minute hilly run, the longest I’ve ran for in a number of years. Now, it isn’t very hilly here on the coast at Ynyslas so I drive into Tre-Ddol and started my run there. Temperatures were sub-zero so I wrapped up with running tights, thermal top,...

Well, that isn’t entirely true as it is working, I just can’t switch it off, and can’t start / stop it or use any of the functions. It is however still alive...
Although we were quite busy this weekend we didn’t really do much of note so there hasn’t been a blog post for you to read. Saturday was a lovely day, cold but sunny and with no wind. I went out for a bike ride with INTR triathlon club in the morning. It’s time to start...
