Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
This seems to be a constant dilemma for me. We can’t always afford a holiday so we want to make sure we get the destination right but I think we just have too many requirements to find the ideal resort. It’s my 40th next year so we’re looking at the possibility of going on a...
The Annual Borth and Ynyslas fireworks party went well last night. Despite the terrible weather forecast, loads of people turned up to Dave and Sarah’s, most with plates of food and a firework. We also took a pumpkin and were supposed to take some toilet roll but forgot! The bonfire was soon lit and although...
The end of a busy weekend with no time for blogging, so here’s my first blog entry about what we got up to. It was National Moth Night on Sept 18th-19th. National Moth Night (NMN) is Britain’s celebration of moths and moth recording and started in 1999. As well as producing information about moths, an...
After collecting Morgan from school yesterday we popped in to see a friend but a Morgan was nodding off to sleep I decided to take him for a little stroll on the beach for some fresh air to revitalise him! I had my little compact Pentax Optio W60 waterproof camera with me so I took...
Time for a rant…. First of all, dog owners that don’t clean up after their dogs, it’s disgusting, especially in public places and around here on the beach. There are kids playing in the dunes, digging in the sand and generally crawling around on the beach. The last thing they want to come across is...
I’m on a mission to turn the main road through Ynyslas into an avenue of palm trees! OK, it’ll probably never happen but I think it would look nice. One of the things I like about the Isle of Man is the number of palm trees there. More accurately they are actually Cordyline Australis which...
I haven’t been out of the house for a week so as it was such a lovely day I just had to go for a nice easy walk in the dunes. I had Morgan with me so it was more of a tiny little stroll really, but I still managed to take a few photos....
I always say that the best camera is the one you have with you, and since buying a little Pentax Optio W60 a few weeks ago this has proved to be true. It may not have quite the optics of my Canon SLR or the features and flexibility, but the fact that I can pop...
I’m not about to say that West Wales can compete on the world stage with the likes of Maui, Fiji or Cape Verde, but on its day, when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining then it can be pretty good. Today was one of those days. Clear blue skies, blue water and...
Uh oh… This won’t be a pretty sight. As part of the Square Festival’s events this year they are going to try to break the world skinny dip record with festival-goers invited to contribute to setting the record for the most people skinny dipping in the same place at the same time. Don’t go to...
