Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We thought we’d treat ourselves to dinner out last night and as the Wild Fowler is no longer doing the 2 for 1 offer we thought we’dgive the Rhydypennau Inn a go. We hadn’t been there fore a while and yet again it had changed hands since we were last there (or at least it...

I had a meeting with some potential web design clients today, so drove all the way to Llandysul. Unfortunately when I got there I discovered they had been trying to phone me as the person I was supposed to have the meeting with was off sick so the meeting was canceled. Frustrating as traveling to...

We’ve just got back from a ‘proper’ family holiday in Slovenia. We stayed in Kranjska Gora in the NW of the country. It is a small resort town, aimed at snowsports in the winter and wlaking and biking in the summer. We were there at the end of the winter season so the snow wasn’t...
Looks as though I spoke too soon in yesterdays post about there being no damage from the storms… Our power went off this morning at around 6.30am. We assumed it was the normal power cuts that we have fairly regulalrly here and that everyone was affected, but once others arose and we asked them we...

We have recorded both the deepest low pressure with a pressure reading of 953.9mb on March 1oth and the windiest day with a maximum gust of 62.2 knots at 1.42am this morning… Both records since the weather...
I spent a weekend in North Wales recently and had my first real taste of Youth Hostelling. Steve and I stayed at the Snowdon Ranger Youth Hostel, on the west side of Snowdon. We were in shared room that had 6 beds, but luckily we were the only one in it which was nice. There...
I haven’t long got back from an outdoor weekend in Wales. First I drove to Liverpool and Anna, Morgan and I stayed in a Travel lodge for the night so that I could drop Anna and Morgan off at the airport early in the morning so that they couldget the plane to the Isle of...
