Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Every cloud has a silver lining I guess.. I have been planning to hide some geocaches in some nearby hills where caches were a little thin on the ground for a few months now. I’d been waiting for the right weather to spend a day up there with Steve hiding the caches and it looked...
We had a nice early start yesterday, Impi arrived at 5.30 am to catch the tide and the wind and we were on the water not long after. The wind was a little fickle to start with but filled in and the water flattened off for some amazing speed runs on our big kit. Despite...
Whilst working in the garden the other day I spotted a geocacher finding my ‘On the Bog’ cache so had a little chat with him. he was an expat now living in America but was back here in Borth visiting family. It was good to see someone finding my cache, which as usual with this...
We had a nice day yesterday. First we took Morgan swimming, which is something we have neglected to do for ages. He loved it and got on really well. He was quite happy floating around with his armbands on and climbing onto the various floats that were scattered around the pool.He was reluctant to get...

We knew nothing of it but apparently there were around 20 police officers including dog handlers, polic in full riot gear and even some armed police called to a house in Borth to arrest a...
Sometime website development can be very frustrating, and as a freelance web developer with few people to turn to when I come across a problem I really get to experience the highs and lows. Just the other day whilst working on a fairly complex project that I have on at the moment I came across...
Well, I have just been out in my lunchbreak to get some potty training supplies incase Morgan decides that this really in the real thing. I got some ‘big boy’ pants (7 for £1.50 from Bwise), some stickers and a new spiderman as a present (and because Daddy stood on the last on enad broke...
Morgan is full of surprises! I was just starting to think it was about time I started thinking about potty training and it looks like Morgan might have done it on his own! Last night, another lovely warm evening, Morgan had a little bit of nappy rash so I was just letting him run about...
