Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Anther busy weekend has been and gone. It was the Aberdovey Windsurf Demo weekend and typically there was no wind at all forecast. I did show willing and drive around to Aberdovey on Saturday morning and had a little look at the kit. Not much was happening but seeing as there was no wind at...
Just a quicky moan about MacDonalds! We were in Aber on Sunday and after we’d been to buy our new bedroom furniture (yeh!) we stopped of at MacDonalds for lunch. It was quite busy so we didn’t bother to go in and went through the drive through then drove to the beach to eat it....
Just had this from my brother in Bristol so have posted it here so that anyone who wishes to sponsor him can: I am attending a “Fright Night†soon where I will be staying overnight in one of the most haunted locations in the UK. I will be taking part in workshops and be joined...
We hear a lot about what Al is up to these days but don’t think me and Morgan were sat around doing nothing. On Saturday we had a day out on the bus, only into Aberystwyth, but Morgan enjoyed the ride. I don’t know what it is about Morgan and buses but everytime he is...
I had a nice surf trip to the Gower this weekend. I got up at 4am on Saturday and drive down there, meeting James, Des, Juan and Mark at the Hillend camp site, Llangenith around 6.30am. They had just set up their tents, depsite having been charged for Friday night as well as Saturday night.....

Hopefully Anna will add here perspective on our holiday to the isle of Man, and over the coming days I shall be adding some details of each day, but for now here is the overview. We are all back safe and sound, although I wouldn’t say rested… As usual when on holiday with a 2...
Continuing my exploration of the local trails I decided to have a go at the Climachx Trail to the north of Machynlleth yesterday. I’m not feeling much fitter yet, so I have to keep plugging away and get out doing some exercise as often as possible and the write up about this trail sounded interesting:...
We’ve just had a good weekend visiting family in Gloucestershire. Saturday was spent at Prinknash Abbey Park, feeding ducks and various other birds, fish, goats and deer. Morgan seemed to love it there, but unfortunately the battery in my camera ran out half way round so we don’t have that many photos of him feeding...
I had a busy day on Friday. After a 5am start in order to do a couple of hours work, I took Anna to work and Morgan to nursery and then drove up to Llyn Pendam to meet Steve. We then had an enjoyable Mountain Bike ride around a combination of the Summit Trail and...
