Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Day 2 of our holiday dawned bright and sunny so after a nice breakfast at the B&B we headed off to the south of Arran and a play on the beach. Morgan loves the beach and was soon digging in the sand and playing in the water which felt cold even to me. Anna of...
We set off from Ynyslas bright and early at 5.30am with Morgan in his pyjamas and with only one stop on route arrived at Ardrossan with plenty of time to catch the earlier ferry to Arran. It was quite a long drive so 1 stop was pretty good going considering the fact that we had...

We had another action packed weekend here in West Wales. I had an early start on Saturday as Ivor (the local katabatic wind that blows down the Dyfi Valley at this time of year) was up to his tricks and Impi called around for a windsurf session at 6am. We headed off to the estuary...
I couldn’t help but laugh today when I saw what was making the news headlines on www.iomonline.co.im. I try to keep up-to-date with news from the Isle of Man but this just says it all: “MOTORISTS BAFFLED BY ROUNDABOUTS – OFFICIAL MOTORISTS in the Isle of Man don’t know how to use roundabouts – it’s...
Congratulation to James and Donna who have FINALLY got around to planning their wedding. They’ve set the date (8th December) and the venue (Muncaster Castle) so it looks like plans are going well. We’re looking forward to it already and wish them both all the best. http://www.barefoottraveller.com/php/index.php (James & Donna’s travel info page) http://www.create-iom.com (James’ new business...
