Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Sorry for the lack of updates here recently, but we have an excuse. I’d like to say that we decided to go offline for Xmas as a matter of choice as it would be nice now and then to ‘get away from it all’ and have no contact with the outside world. However, that wasn’t...
We had some snow last night and with the Christmas Lights on it’s looks lovely out there. If only it were Christmas tomorrow, not next week.
We had a busy day yesterday. First was a trip to the local Christmas Fete where the Beavers had a stall. Morgan was donating some of his old toys and Anna had made chocolates to sell so we turned up to give those to them and also wandered around with Jamie and Cameron whilst their...
It’s not long until Christmas, so time to start preparing. Whilst looking for presents for Morgan I came across this Lego™ City advent calendar. OK, so it costs quite a bit more than an unhealthy chocolate advent calendar but you get a great Lego™ calendar with a new mini-build every day through the advent period....

It’ll soon be that time of year again when Morgan and all his friends from school will want to visit Santa and let him know what they want for Christmas. So, where can the big red bearded man be found? Tal y Llyn Railway He can be found on the Santa Specials at the Tal...
Amazingly it is already that time of year when we need to start thinking about Christmas! We’re on the ball as we have already ordered our Christmas Turkey. Last year we had a four-bird roast for our Christmas dinner, but Anna was ill so didn’t really get chance to enjoy it. We have therefore decided...
