Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The garden always looks a little untidy and overgrown at this time of year. I kind of like to let it do its own thing to a certain extent so it’s partly by design, but my OCD and perfectionism can’t stand it for too long. It was therefore good to get out there at the...
Travelling is a part of our lives in one way or another. You could travel for business or leisure. But whether it is a hiking trip or a simple trip to another city, safety is the top priority. Interestingly, safety signs play a crucial role, even though they are overlooked and underappreciated. From protecting travellers...
Having had a bumper year last year we weren’t expecting much from the bees this year. Our expectations weren’t helped by the fact that we lost our largest colony over the winter. I suspect they swarmed late in the year after we had harvested from them and got them ready for winter. With no queen...
Having been out of action for a week or so thanks to a cold that went to my chest, I was dying to get out in the fresh air doing something exciting. I went for a short run on Sunday that was slow and quite a struggle but it didn’t set me back at all...
I survived the night, and woke up feeling quite a lot better. I was able to enjoy my breakfast at Boulston Manor today. After which, we packed up, said our goodbyes to Rod and Jules and started to head home. Originally I would have been running some of the coast path today but I was...
Happy Birthday Anna!! Not a bad room to wake up to on your birthday after a good nights sleep at Boulston Manor. We had a lazy start as we had said we’d have breakfast at 8:30am – that’s late for us, but we were on a mini-break so why not take it easy! I was...
It was Anna’s birthday at the weekend so we headed off to Pembrokeshire for a treat. The original plan had been to spend a nice weekend at a Manor house, have dinner at a couple of nice restaurants, visit some attractions and for me to run along a few sections of the coast path. So,...
I know some of you (you know who you are!) will ridicule me for this, but I came across a cool website the other day called lighterpack.com. It’s not that clever really, as all it does is allow you to create a list of items and their weights and it works out how much your...
I had another quick pop into the hills yesterday to try out some kit. It was only a short walk/run and not far from home. Having looked down on the Dyfi Valley from Tarren Hendre on Monday, I was again looking down on it, this time from the opposite side whilst on top of Foel...
With a few bits of new kit and the OMM looming on the horizon, I decided to make the most of my Bank Holiday afternoon and head out into the hills. It wasn’t a particularly exciting day weather wise with grey skies, light winds and the possibility of drizzle on the hilltops. It was 1pm...
