Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I certainly didn’t think we’d be diong this so soon but we’ve started to think about which primary school Morgan will go to. It’s not actually that long until he will have to start (April 2009) so we thought we’d better start thinking about it. The main trouble (if you can call it that) in...
Most people come to this part of the world for the beaches or the hills, but I came across a blog this morning from someone who appears to have come here to admire the litter bins! You can read his blog entry here
Just came across this from the Borth Surf Masters earlier this year…. Just goes to show that the surf here CAN be good from time to time.
Another windless day here on Sunday so the windsurf demo day wasn’t likely to be much fun so we headed off for a family day out and some geocaching in Wales. First stop was Llanrhystud for a walk along the beach to the interesting Craiglas Limekilns and the first cache of the day. Getting there...
Elvis Spotted at Ynyslas….. Yep, it’s true, he was here enjoying a party on Saturday evening along with a few other diodgy looking characters. The party was in aid of Sarah’s birthday and the start of her new life free from the confines of a 9-5 job. Thankfully the weather held off so the garden...
We decided to give Anna a rest and a day off on her own at home yesterday. Morgan and I headed off complete with GPSr and picnic. First stop was Machynlleth where we stopped to find the Penyrallt geocache. It was in a nice location overlooking Machynlleth and the Dyfi valley. getting to it was...
It was another hot sunny day here today so I headed off for a walk along the cliff path. I headed up onto the coast path from Borth, past the war memorial and then down into the small beach at Aberwennol before heading off onto the main section of coast path between Borth and Wallog,...
We’ve just got back from a hot sticky day at Strata Florida. We took a detour on the way there to stop off at a geocache in Pontrhydygroes. The cache itself was easy to find and was just a short walk from the road but involved crossing the Miners Bridge which is pretty high and...
Today I came across a weblog entry from a family in Suffolk who have just had a holiday in Wales. So what? Loads of people holiday in Wales! Well, they do, but not as many as used to. Holidays to France, Spain, Portugal or even further afield can often be less expensive than a good...
Following on from my epic walk in the Arans on Saturday Anna and I decided to make the use of our babysitting facilities whilst Anna’s Mum is staying with us and treat ourselves to a meal out. We decided to try out the Steak House on the top of Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth. originally I...
