Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
At Morgan’s school, each weekend one of the reception class kids gets to take home ‘Tedi Twt’ with instructions to look after him, keep him clean and dry and take him with you wherever you go. Kind of like taking the hamster home for the holidays without quite so much responsibility! It may not be...
Not content with oodles of damson and plum gin (Yep, ‘oodles’ is a technical term), we thought we’d have a go at strawberry gin as well. It won’t be ready for a while but I can’t wait to give it a taste, and it’ll hopefully be yet another glorious shade of red. Who wants some??
I’ve been meaning to experiment with HDR photography for a while but as with lots of my little projects just haven’t had the time to do so. I also didn’t have a tripod, but now I do, so the other evening I forced myself out to take some photos and give it a go. I...
A relaxing end to a hectic day. Work Work Work, Windsurf, Windsurf Windsurf. Aaaah! Mind you, the sea looked a lot meaner than this whilst I was sailing on it.

Its Anna’s birthday tomorrow. So, what romantic treats do I have in store for her? A candlelit dinner for two? A sunset walk along the beach? No, too clichéd, I can do better than that. I have an appointment at the hospital for an echocardiogram and i’m going to take Anna with me. She’ll be...
As part of my ‘getting back into photography’ effort I’ve been meaning to photograph a mountain biking event for a while now. I quite like the idea of having a particular ‘assignment’ rather than just wandering around on a photo-walk and hopefully all of the participants in such an event will want to see photos...
My Snowdonia Enduro Photos are now out ready for all to see. Here are a few as a taster, but the link above takes you to the whole album. They are ordered and titled by rider number so you should be able to find yourself fairly easily. Hope you all had a good time, it...
I’ve set myself a little photo assignment for the weekend and decided to treat myself to a tripod as I’ve been meaning to get one for a while and it will come in handy for this assignment. So, which is the best tripod? Well the whole point of a tripod is to hold the camera...
