Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
No real Jubilee celebrations for us here over the weekend but it was nice to have some time off. I took a days holiday and had 11 days off in a row thanks to weekends and bank holidays! Diving in Spain Morgan was off diving in Spain with some friends. He’s completed his Open Water...
With the sea kayaking finished, Anna and I had an extra day in Sardinia. Breakfast was a somewhat quieter affair today as some of the party had already left. It was just Hannah, Vicky, Anna and I. The fare was the same as previous days, although the eggs seemed to have moved up a notch...
The final day of sea kayaking already and the itinerary looked good. The weather looked nice as well as we all piled into the minibus after breakfast for the short drive to the beach of Tramariglio on the Capo Caccia Peninsula in Sardinia. The drive there was pretty spectacular as we followed the road along...
Day two of kayaking and we had already fallen into a familiar routine. After breakfast with the others in the Agriturismo there was time to get ready and then Clark and Giovanni turned up with the mini-bus and kayaks at a leisurely10am. Today he drove us to Porto Ferro on the West Coast. Here we...
Having travelled across the UK on Monday, across Europe on Tuesday and across Sardinia on Wednesday, Thursday was finally the day to get back on the water. I hadn’t been on the sea since my heart attack last June so doing so in the not-freezing waters of Sardinia was the perfect way to do so....
As you may have read in a recent blog post, Anna and I were off to Sardinia to do some sea-kayaking. After a couple of years of holiday cancellations due to Covid restrictions and a heart attack, it was to be a much needed break and an opportunity for me to get back on the...
With Covid restrictions relaxed and my heart attack recovery continuing we thought it was time for a holiday – I think after the year or two we’ve had it was well deserved. Anna and I therefore booked a little adventure to go Sea Kayaking in Sardinia. Morgan didn’t really want to come with us so...
The last day of our holiday already, and typically we awoke to find a thick sea mist had soaked everything. Thankfully, by the time we had been for a swim in the swimming pool, cooked, and eaten pancakes things were drying out nicely and the sun was out. It was forecast to be hot today...
The weather was a little overcast today so rather than head to the beach we headed along the coast to a Monkey Sanctuary near Looe. It was a rescue centre for monkeys that had at some point in their life been part of the pet trade. Staff stood around the enclosures telling us the life...
Today looked like being a bright sunny day. There was still a breeze blowing and some wind-blown waves on the long expanse of sands at Whitsands Bay. Rather than drive anywhere we decided to walk down the cliffs to the beach today instead. We of course had a swim and pancakes at the campsite first....
