Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We had a few nice days weather-wise on the Isle of Man (as well of course as a few wet ones) so managed to get out for strolls in the countryside. Anna’s Mum has a bit of an allotment that she works on and there is a little apiary there so as budding beekeepers we...
Whilst on the Isle of Man this year we visited a couple of castles and tourist attractions. The good news is that as members of the National Trust, our National Trust card is accepted in Manx national Heritage sites giving us free entry.

After cracks appeared in my Commencal Frame a few weeks ago, I’ve now got a brand new 2010 Meta 5.5 Frame from Commencal. It’s a different colour and a slightly different model but hopefully this one won’t crack. I was expecting the stripping down of the old frame and the rebuilding of all the bits...

With a title like that this post will no doubt get lots of hits, but it’s not what you’re thinking! It’s just that I managed to get a photo of a bird using the water feature and it just so happened to be a Great Tit. There has been quite a few of them on...
The Sweet Peas are a little late, but at least they are adding some much needed colour to the garden.
