Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
My site is worth $5234.1.How much is yours worth? Just came across a little web app that attempts to put a value on your website. Not particularly useful but nice all the same. It looks as though it simply bases the value it gives on various stats (that are probably gathered from alexa?) and then...
I first experienced the joys of mountain-biking at Brechfa a few months ago when I tried out the red-graded Gorlech trail. I enjoyed that and wanted to go back for more so when the guys I usually cycle during the week with had a trip to Brechfa planned to try out the newly opened black-graded...
We spent a nice day at Powys Castle on Friday. Probably the best National Trust property we have visited so far. There isn’t much I can say about it other than the fact that the gardens were impressive, as was the castle itself. Here are some of the many photos:
As part of our couple of days away, after a day at the Blue Planet we stayed in the Premier Inn Wrexham. Although close to Wrexham it is a little way out of the town and felt nice. It was never going to be a luxury night away but it was perfect for us. Cheaper...
Unusually for us we decided to conform to the norm and have a couple of days away during a Bank Holiday weekend! We drove up to the Blue Planet in Liverpool on Friday morning. Morgan’s travel sickness seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds so it took a little longer and quite a...
I’ve been wanting to ride at Llandegla for a while now so on our way back from Wrexham we stopped off at Llandegla and I finally had my chance. As we pulled into the car park it looked really busy, people and bikes everywhere but I guess that was to be expected on a bank...
Readers of my diary entries on Forces-of-Nature will realise that I’ve been out mountain-biking quite a bit recently. I generally ride one night a week with a small group of other local mountain-bikers all of whom have tubeless set-ups and don’t seem to get any punctures. I didn’t think there was any need to ‘go...
When you think of the problems affecting coastal gardens the first issue that springs to mind is the wind. Living on the coast means that there is an uninterrupted flow of wind from the sea straight into your garden and the affects can be dramatic. Very few people live right on the coast and it...
Jennie has posted some more photos from the weekend in facebook so here they are (without the one where I look stupid!)
After a busy day on Saturday, the plan for Sunday was a day by the lakeside at the Cotswold Water Park. Thankfully the weather co-operated and we had what was probably the best day so far of the summer with temperatures at around 30ºC and glorious sunshine. A little too hot really, but we are...
