Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The Bank Holiday weekend was gorgeous here – That ‘s almost worth a blog post in its own right, but we also spent much of Monday in Aberystwyth and had a lovely walk through the Penglais Woods nature Reserve. The Bluebells are really early this year and are actually coming towards the end of their...
This gorgeous spring weather, warm temperatures and the profusion of spring flowers and tree blossom seems to have been working wonders on the local honey bee colonies. We’ve yet to get our bees – they should arrive sometime in May, but we were at an Aberystwyth Beekeepers Association meeting on Thursday night and have been...
The beginning of a new week already – It’s a shame the weekend had to end as it was a really lovely one here in West Wales. Clear blue skies, temperatures around 20ºC, light winds and not too busy. We got lots done in the garden and also attended an Aberystwyth Beekeepers Association practical session....
We seem to be spending more and more time with the Aberystwyth Beekeepers Association and this weekend ws no different. It was their annual bee equipment sale so we went along, taking my parents with us. As usual it was good to see everyone, have a chat and browse through a collection of new and...
We’re definitely getting older! I didn’t think it was that long ago that I used to go out quite a bit in Abersystwyth, but clearly it’s longer than I thought! We did go out on Saturday night but all the pubs seem to have changed their names and we were back home and in bed...
We all went to the Panto in Aberystwyth yesterday – Oh yes we did!! When I say all I mean, Anna, Morgan and myself along with about 20 others in our group including a load of Morgan’s friends and their parents. We of course were only a small group in a packed house. It was Cinderella...
Despite the sub-zero temperatures we braved the fair in Aberystwyth last night. As usual we bumped into (literally on the bumper cars!) many of Morgans friends from school and we all had fun freezing half to death watching the kids on the rides.
Seeing as Morgan has been keen to do some more geocaching recently I’ve been taking my Garmin Forerunner GPSr and my iPod with me on the school run so that we can find one or two caches on the way home from school. This system works well for paperless caching and means we don’t have...
I’ve just noticed lots of hits on my post about the Aberystwyth Fun Fair last year, which reminded me that it must be time for it again. I’m not 100% sure the dates of the 2010 fair, but it is normally on the 1st Monday after the 12th of November and the subsequent 2 Mondays...
We had a busy night last night, but got to see the Aberystwyth Round Table fireworks. We didn’t pay to go in as we’d paid to see the Machynlleth fireworks display last weekend, it was pouring with rain and we have a bonfire party to go to tonight as well. So, we though we’d watch...
