Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The Space Shuttle Endeavour touched down after it’s last mission this week with an amazing 122 million miles on its clock. And I thought my car was doing well with 122 thousand miles! Pretty impressive stuff and a shame that it has to come to an end, but hopefully it will pave the way for...
I’ve got a triathlon to do tomorrow so it’s time to write myself a checklist for the kit I’ll need to pack in the car. There’s no point keeping it to myself though so here it is in case you need it as well. Swim Tri-suit Goggles Spare goggles just in case – I’m good at...
We had a lovely Mountain Bike ride last night and it was nice to see a number of new faces on the ride as well. We met at our usual spot near to Angler’s Retreat. As well as myself, there was Pete, who is now a regular rider having started riding with us last year,...
What a scorcher! It felt like summer yesterday and with Morgan off school and Anna having a day off work I decided to join them and we headed across to the beach first thing in the morning. Morgan and I headed off in the inflatable canoe whilst Anna sat on the beach relaxing and reading...
After the late spring onslaught it looks as though the weather may have settled down for a day or two. Summer officially started on June 1st and as I write this at 7:40am on June 2nd, it is already 15.2ºC out there, the sun is shining and there isn’t a puff of wind. Usually the latter fact...
I’ve just been sent some photos of me windsurfing the other day. It’s not very often that I get to see myself windsurfing as very few people like standing on the beach in typical windsurf conditions here – cold wet, grey and of course windy – with a camera. So it’s always good to see...
I’m doing well following the training regime set by my coach. I think I’ve even got used to the hilly runs that he has been setting me to do. The first one I did about a month ago was pretty tough, but since then I’ve been sticking with it and even increasing the distance a...
I haven’t posted a garden update here for a while. After the gorgeous early spring weather with plenty of sunshine, little rain and very warm temperatures things took a turn weather-wise. Very strong winds, rain and cold temperatures saw the garden suffering a little. As usual the plants coped OK for the first few days...
And here’s our second attempt. Obviously with more time, more patience and better battery charge in my camera we could improve on this. It was only meant to be a bit of fun and it kept Morgan occupied on a wet Bank Holiday Monday morning. Hope you like it.
I was trying to explain to Morgan how stop motion movies work and thought the best way to do it was to actually make one with him. Mind you, I’ve never made one before so it was a case of the blind leading the blind. We started off with a nice easy project, took the...
