Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Just a quick list of some things to do in and around Aberystwyth this Autumn. It isn’t exhaustive of course but it covers our usual haunts and may give you some ideas if you’re at a loose end. Saturday 23rd October Feed the Birds Day – Ynys Hir (10am – 4pm) – make bird feeders/scavenger...
I haven’t given up on the idea of bee-keeping yet. In fact I’ve been reading more, listening to podcasts and keeping in touch with the Aberystwyth Bee Keeping Association (ABKA). We have decided that the best plan of attack as far as bee-keeping in the back garden is concerned is to learn as much as...
It has been ages since I’ve been geocaching. I’ve been out to repair or replace a few of my own caches now and then but hadn’t done any finding myself as I thought I’d have to travel to find any new ones. How wrong I was. I had a look at the Geocaching website yesterday...
My parents are here for a long weekend so we went out for Sunday lunch yesterday. We had heard that the carvery at the Marine in Aberystwyth was good so after a walk along the prom to build up an apetite off we went for lunch. All of the reports of it being good were...
OK, time for a moan about our Broadband Speeds again! As part of my job as a freelance website designer I’m often being called on to help people with their computers, set up e-mail accounts, sort out their broadband connections and generally teach them how to do certain things on their computers.

The world is full of Apple rumours, we now know what the iPad actually is and what it can do, but I’ve come across a source of information regarding a Apple event in Aberystwyth.

We went to see the pantomime at Aberystwyth Arts Centre yesterday. It was Jack and the Beanstalk and I was pleasantly surprised. The pantomime is put on by The Wardens Dramatic Society who have been producing shows in Aberystwyth since Jack and the Beanstalk in 1983. The productions are directed by Richard Cheshire, who also...
There was finally a little break in the weather yesterday afternoon so we decided to go to the fair. (See here for Aberystwyth Fair opening times). We hadn’t made any definite plans so didn’t tell Morgan until we collected him from school and hadn’t made plans to meet anyone there either. However, as usual it...
I’ve been trying to find out when the fair comes to Aberystwyth, and judging by the twitter comments and such like I’m not the only one. So, thanks to various people on Twitter (You know who you are), and as a public service for others trying to find when it will be in Aberystwyth: It...
The clocks have gone back, the evenings are darker and it feels as though Winter is properly on its way. A depressing time for many, but I really like it. It isn’t very cold at the moment but there’s nothing nicer than snuggling up indoors in front of the fire whilst it’s cold and miserable...
