Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We had a nice family day out on Saturday, shopping in Carmarthen. Anna had never been there before and I had only been there as part of Brad’s Stag weekend. We didn’t really need to buy anything in particular and Anna did suggest going to Aberystwyth instead, but I fancied a day out and a...
I seem to be becoming GPS enabled in all walks of life these days. It started with a Garmin eTrex that I originally bought to see how fast I could go whilst windsurfing and then started using for geocaching. I had a TomTom One XL for my birthday which has been working well and is...
Well, Santa arrived as expected and there were presents under the tree. Here are a few photos of Morgan on Xmas morning…
As you know from a previous post the weather station is currently out of action. After some phone calls to the UK distributors it seems as though there is a fault on the main SIM board so it was dismantled and sent off to them just before Xmas. Unfortunately they will be on holiday until...

My parents arrived here on Friday evening and then on Saturday morning we all headed off to...
Our trip to the lake District continued with an evening in Ambleside. We were stayingat the Ambleside Youth Hostel, which although big and fairly busy was actually quite nice. The room were basic as one would expect from a Youth Hostel but the hostel itself was right on the shores of the lake with amazing...
After James and Donna’s wedding on Saturday we all had a nice breakfast at the castle and then said our goodbyes and set off on our own separate ways. As part of the wedding arrangements and our accommodation for the weekend we had access to the various attractions at the castle so decided to have...
