Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The weather hasn’t been great and we had planned day out as a family along with Dave and Sarah from next door geocaching in the Welsh Hills on Saturday. Saturday dawned particularly wet, but if you don’t do anything around here because it is raining nothing would ever get done so we set off anyway....
Why oh why do these things always happen when miles from the shore on a cold winter day with no-one around? Ok, so maybe I shouldn’t go windsurfing on my own in such conditions, but the wind was a perfect 25-30 knots (Force 6-7) the sea looked like fun with some decent waves to play...
