Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I had a quick trip up a hill today to find a couple of newly hidden geocaches. Found them both before heading back down the hill to collect Morgan from nursery. Being self-employed certainly has its advantages at such times as I am able to pop-out whenever the mood takes me, and today was such...
We had another nice weekend here in West Wales. My parents came up on Saturday night to see us, so Saturday was a bit hectic, trying out the new tumble drier (which still makes far too much noise), tidying the house, mowing the lawn etc. Sunday morning was equally hectic as me and my dad...
It’s been a busy week here in our simple life of luxury.. We decided as winter was approaching to add to the luxury and splash out on a tumble drier. We of course bought the only ‘A’-rated model available which apparently uses 50% less energy than other models even though on that setting it takes...
I just love living here in West Wales and working from home. After seeing Anna and Morgan off to work / nursery I set to work at my computer, sitting in my office with my slippers on and a cup of coffee. I actually got quite a bit done this morning but as the wiond...

I actually quite like this time of year, once again things are all changing and those long evenings snuggled...
Well, it happens to the best of us, eventually we get old, crumble and die, and Transit vans are no exception. This is espeically true when they live on the beach and are full of wet, salty windsurfing gear. My Transit van has been rusting away quite rapidly for a while now and although the...
I’ve always been a bit of a fan of bonsai trees and used to have a really nice indoor bonsai tree until Robbie, our cat, ate it! I’ve now got a new one though as a present for my duties as best man at Brad and Eloise’s wedding last weekend. The new tree is a...
It’s about time I caught up with some blogging here, but we have been so busy recently that writing about what we’ve been doing just gets in the way of DOING. However, one thing we have been doing a little bit of is geocaching. For those of you who don’t know what it is, basically...
