Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Following our walk along the beach in order to complete the Earth Cache at Ynyslas it was time for a day working in the garden. Winter has certainly taken its toll on the garden, the crazy storms, record breaking winds and flood have all had an impact and the garden has only just started to...
I don’t think anyone would deny that we’ve had a fairly awful winter so far this year. It hasn’t been cold yet, but it’s just been wet, windy and miserable. There does seem to be hope on the horizon though. There’s a brief respite in the stormy weather today, the wind has gone and it isn’t raining at...
Our entire garden seems to have been taken over by burrowers. Does anyone have any good techniques for getting rid of moles? The garden was looking a little neglected anyway as our lawn-mower is broken and I’ve had very little time to work on the garden lately, but the moles have certainly not helped. In...
On our way home from our flying visit to a family party in Gloucestershire, we stopped of at Hampton Court. No, not Hampton Court Palace in London, but a Hampton Court Castle and gardens not far from Leominster in Herefordshire. We decided not to pay the extra to visit the castle as we can save...
We have visitors coming this weekend – Well, actually they are arriving Sunday night for a couple of days. It’s my Sister Trudi, her boyfriend Mike and he children Kia an Shaun. As we only live in a small(ish) bungalow we don’t have huge amounts of room for them, mainly because one of our bedrooms...
I’d like to say that yesterday was day 22 of summer, but although temperatures were still up into the low 20’s and when the sun came out it was lovely, there were quite a few heavy showers around and things were feeling a lot less summery than they were. Typically this is often the case...
Just thought I’d promote this as it sounds like a really good idea for the weekend. Not only will we get to have a nose around other peoples gardens but we’ll be donating to Wales Air Ambulance at the same time. Hopefully some of the gardens that will be open will be ‘normal’ gardens as well rather...
As we got to actually enjoy the garden a little over the weekend I thought I’d share some of it with you.
Summer finally arrived on Saturday and it was still with us on Sunday which turned out to be a glorious day. Wall to wall sunshine and temperatures just edging into the 20’s. I started my day with a run and swim in Machynlleth followed by coffee and a bacon sandwich. By the time I got...
After a busy triathlon related morning on Saturday we spent the afternoon working in the garden. There’s loads to catch up with but we picked strawberries and red-currants, fixed the water feature, mowed the lawn, weeded and generally tidied up as well as planted a few things out that had been a little neglected in...
