Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Anna has every other Monday off work at the moment. Nice for her, and nice for us as I don’t officially work on Mondays either so we are able to have a day out locally together whilst avoiding the ‘crowds’. Not that I’m sure Devil’s Bridge would have been ‘crowded’ over the weekend, but it...
Happy Birthday Anna!! Not a bad room to wake up to on your birthday after a good nights sleep at Boulston Manor. We had a lazy start as we had said we’d have breakfast at 8:30am – that’s late for us, but we were on a mini-break so why not take it easy! I was...
It was Anna’s birthday at the weekend so we headed off to Pembrokeshire for a treat. The original plan had been to spend a nice weekend at a Manor house, have dinner at a couple of nice restaurants, visit some attractions and for me to run along a few sections of the coast path. So,...
As mentioned previously I try not to run on consecutive days as I tend to get injured if I do. That meant that Monday was a free day in Pembrokeshire for us and we needed something to do. I decided that Picton Castle and Gardens looked nice so we though we’d head there first. It’s...
After my run along the Coast Path from Freshwater West to Rhoscrowther we still had an afternoon to play with. So, after a shower at the cottage it was back into Angle to try out Cafe Mor that I had ran past earlier. Cafe Mor Their website says: Cafe Môr started life in our little...
Day 2 of our mini trip to Pembrokeshire. Pembroke After a relaxed breakfast at our Air BnB we headed into pembroke to explore the town. We wandered through the streets and around the Mill Pond which didn’t take long. It did allow me to tae some photos of the castle though. With plenty of time...
Anna and I have recently returend from a short break in Pembrokeshire. The main reason for it was so that I could continue some Coast Path run, but it was also a nice opportunity to get away for a few days for some sight-seeing, some relaxation and some good food. Morgan was obvously not interested...
We had an exciting day at the Commonwealth Games on Thursday. We went with Steve and Biddy so spent Wednesday with them too so that we could then travel in to see some of the action on Thursday. Commonwealth Games Tickets We had originally thought of getting tickets for the cycling in the Velodrome. Fortunately...
We had a day at the Commonwealth Games earlier this week. It was Anna’s idea to go see some of the action. So, when she mentioned it I suggested we do so with Steve and Biddy as they live out that way and we don’t see them often enough. A quick message and they said...
I’m not sure if this is a thing to ‘celebrate’ or not, but Monday was 1 year since my heart attack. I guess it’s good that I’m still here 1 year later, but celebrating the actual event seems a little weird. It has of course changed almost everything for me but I’ve been recovering and...
