Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Anna and I, along with half of the Aberystwyth Beekeeping Association attending a lecture in the National Library on Wednesday. It was a lunchtime lecture so we all met up for dinner in the cafe first and then headed into the very nice lecture theatre. The lecture was titled ‘Plants for Bees‘ and was given...
I really need to get out into the garden and start some Spring clearing; Dead wood needs cutting back, the shrubs and hedges all need a trim, moss, grass and weeds need removing from the flower beds, the water feature needs a clean and service, the beds and borders could do with a fork and...
I still haven’t managed to get any really good photos of the birds that have been in the garden during the snow. I’m not really patient enough to sit out there hidden away somewhere so I’ve taken a few photos through the conservatory windows instead. They aren’t the cleanest conservatory windows at the moment so the...
We missed out on the recent snow here, but the forecast seems to suggest that when the high presure over us finally gives way and allows a low pressure system in from the west, the wet air from the Atlantic will hit the cold air currently sitting on top of the UK and we could...

Instead, a post about cake! One of my favourite things about...
I’m not really sure what the difference between a sweet potato and a yam is, but we’ve been quite successful growing them this year. We didn’t really expect them to do that well, but they’ve been sat in pots both in the conservatory and out potato planters in the garden and have been growing away....
If only the weather would improve, this would be such a nice place to sit if it wasn’t quite so wet. The garden is looking lovely at the moment.
I’ve just found this article in my ‘Drafts’ folder that never quite got published for some reason. It was written in November 2008 and at the time I was fretting over the garden and the amount of work that would be involved to restore it. So, I thought I’d add it today, along with a few...
We’ve had plenty of chilli’s from the chilli plants this year!
One of our Sweet Potato plants has started flowering… We’re still not sure how, if or when we’ll actually get any sweet potatos though.
