Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We had a little walk along the beach on Sunday morning to check out progress on the sea defences. It was a grey day and the tide was farily high so we couldn’t really see much in the way of progress. The beach has been built out quite a way at the southern end of Borth...
After the success of Sunday nights Moth Trapping I thought I’d have another go on Monday. The skies were a little clearer so temperatures dropped to 5.7ºC but with light winds we still had quite a good haul: 1 x Mottled Grey 20 x Shoulder stripe 3 x Emmelina monodactyla 7 x Dotted Border 4 x...
Progress on the new conservatory has been good today. We now have Pilkington Self-Cleaning Glass in all the frames and the Pilkington Blue Activ self-cleaning solar control glass in the roof. A few little finishing touches have been added here and there as well. There is still quite a bit to do, the electrician is...
I haven’t had the moth trap out much again lately, but after spending a weekend in the garden and even mowing the lawn, things looked good for a night of moth trapping so I put it out on Sunday evening. I checked on it a couple of times before going to bed and although conditions...
It was a gorgeous Spring day here in West Wales on Saturday. After a little bit of a potter in the garden and fixing of the water feature I headed off for a ride to Nant yr Arian on my new Road Bike with Jon. I met him in Aberystwyth and we headed out along...
Our telephone woes continue – Crackly line and virtually no internet connection most of the time. Mind you, this could have something to do with it.
After a morning bike ride on Saturday, we made the most of the glorious Spring day and did some work in the garden. I’d already done some work on the water feature before my ride and while I was out Anna and Morgan had been busy sowing seeds. I’m not 100% sure what they’ve planted...
No, this isn’t an excuse for me to tell the joke I saw yesterday about the dyslexic Yorkshire man – He was wearing a Cat Flap (sorry!), it’s actually an update on the conservatory and the fact that it now has a cat flap. If you thought the cat flap itself was expensive at £60...
My new bike arrived on Tuesday from Bike Treks in Ambleside. They were really good with the order, it arrived on time in good condition and they kept me up to date with the order throughout the process. Top Marks! I spent Wednesday morning setting it up, putting 0n pedals, aero bars, water bottle cage...
Things have been happening fast and furiously with the conservatory today. The builders have started work on the frame so things are really starting to take shape now.
