Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Anna and I had a lovely evening out (for Anna’s birthday) on Saturday. We’d been meaning to go to the Stubborn Duckling in Aberaeron for a while and finally had an excuse to do so – there are some advantages to getting older! So, after a couple of days in the hills I headed home,...
Our 20th-anniversary celebrations continued at the weekend with a mini-break at Penamenuchaf Hall.

Our (now not so) recent culinary experiences at River Cottage and Ynyshir Hall had us inspired to visit some other top UK restaurants. We had planned to visit L’enclume in the Lake District but lockdown put an end to that for a while. We’ve had a few gourmet dining experiences thanks to Ynyshir Hall takeways...
Anna really enjoyed her Cheese-making course at River Cottage HQ a couple of years ago. So much so that I decided to buy her another trip there as a Christmas Present. It was a Christmas present that benefitted me as well as she wouldn’t want to go on her own, so I’d just have to...
