Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As Morgan’s birthday fell on a school day this year, we had his party at the weekend. He had decided he wanted to do laser tag in the woods so we were all booked up for 2pm on Saturday. Everything was planned and Morgan and 10 friends would meet in the woods ready to run...
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...
It was Morgan’s birthday party yesterday and we had planned to take him and a few of his friends Go-Karting. I started my day with my usual Sunday morning Run and Swim in Machynlleth followed by a bacon sandwich and coffee in the leisure centre. It was quiet there thanks to the fact that many people...
Can you believe that it’s 9 years ago that Morgan first came into this world… Mad hey, where does the time go? Unfortunately for me, my new job at the University – I’ll post about it here soon – meant that I wouldn’t be at home with Morgan for his birthday. We had originally planned...
It’s Anna’s birthday today and considering the fact that I’ve been doing so much baking recently I thought it would be remiss of me not to bake a nice big birthday cake for her. It would be an understatement to say that she likes chocolate so the only option for a birthday cake for Anna...
With only 2 weeks to go until Christmas Eve, we’ve just returned from a weekend away in Bristol and the first of our Christmas celebrations. The weekend started when school finished on Friday and we started our drive to my parents house. It was my Mum’s 60th birthday so we were meeting up with all...
It seemed like Christmas again at the weekend for us. It was Morgan’s 7th birthday and my parents were here visiting. Morgan was pretty excited about it being his birthday and even more so when he saw the big pile of presents he had to open. I don’t think he was expecting much as we...
A house full of rowdy, over-excited 6 year olds? No thanks, we’re not that silly! It was Morgan’s birthday last week, during half term so we waited until this week to have his party and decided to let the good people at Play Planet in Llandre organise most of it for us. Play Planet is...
Well, I’m now 40 years old and have just got back from a great weekend away in North Wales to celebrate the fact that I’ve made it to this milestone (relatively) unscathed. We drove up on Friday afternoon with Dave and Sarah following behind us, stopped off at Treetop Adventure in betws y Coed to...
