Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We may live and learn in an exceptional environment. We may love Aber and the surrounding area. Anna and I may both work at the University. However, I think using one of the Universities ‘Love Aber’ slogans and symbols for our Halloween pumpkin art is taking things just a little too far!
The lovely summer weather seems to have deserted us as usual for the school holidays. This is a shame really as I have loads of time off work thinks to the fact that I worked lots of overtime earlier in the year, so I’ve been at home with Morgan. We haven’t been put off by...
It’s been a busy few days here with no time to blog, but don’t worry, I’ll catch you up soon. We did manage to sneak out for an hour or so to the Strawberry Fayre in Aberystwyth though. The Aberystwyth Silver Band, and therefore Anna, were playing at it, so we went along to it as...
We had an entertaining evening at a Ceredigion schools concert in the Arts Centre in Aberystwyth last night. It was three concerts in one really. Windband Schools Concert First up was the Wind Band in which Morgan was playing. We even had to join in with some audience participation during the 1812 overture using paper...
Morgan’s birthday fell on a school day this year, so he’s not having his party until the weekend. We still went out for a birthday dinner with him though and he chose the funky pizza restaurant Baravin in Aberystwyth. We booked an early 5pm table and wandered along the prom beforehand. The new bandstand is...
We had another fun night at the Panto in Aberystwyth last night. In fact, it was a busy day all round, but it was finished off with a trip to the Panto which is always fun. This year we went as part of a group with the Aberystwyth Silver band along with Annamarie and Kim. Annamarie...
It was a busy day for all of us yesterday. I started it with some work on the computer and then a nice 3x 12 minute sweetspot turbo trainer session courtesy of a TrainerRoad workout called Geiger. It was then the usual hectic half an hour of getting ready for work and school before we...
The Christmas Holidays are disappearing fast and Tuesday looked likely to be the last dry day for a while so we headed off to do a treasure hunt in Aberystwyth. We had bought my brother Jay and his family several treasure hunt packages from treasure trails as a Christmas present and had bought one for...
As our angler fish lantern was such a hit at the Machynlleth lantern parade, we decided to take him along to the Aberystwyth lantern parade as well. The lantern parade in Aberystwyth is associated with the turning on of the Christmas lights and is therefore a festive affair, so we decided that tonight her would...
Another early morning swim in Aberystwyth. This time with Helen, Emma, Richard, Larry, Martin and Victoria and a small pod of dolphins. Dolphins! We could see the dolphins in the bay before we got in, playing in the early morning sunshine and chasing fish. We got in and swam out towards them and then after...
