Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
My first ride for what seems like ages due to a cold, and it was a night ride with Dave, Pete and John. We started from the War Memorial in Penrhyncoch and decided to head up via Banc y Darren as that was likely to be the least icy route. It was icy in a few...
I wonder what makes these gulls choose one roof-top over another. They always seems to like this one.
The first copy of our printed weblog arrived yesterday. It was a bit of an experiment as I’d never used Blurb for printing before and I had to use a fairly convoluted method to produce the pdf for printing. In the end it involved creating the book in Pages and then exporting it as a...
