Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We were invited to spend a couple of days in St David’s. staying in a holiday home owned by some friends. We couldn’t go for long as we just so happened to be looking after their guinea pigs so couldn’t leave them for long but decided spend New Year there and make a start on...
Just got back from a lovely sunset stroll along the beach.
Just a few quick clips of Morgan flying his kite at Ynyslas on Sunday afternoon.
You simply can’t beat a good sunset, especially on a short chilly November day. It even makes my less than exciting car look good! It’s just a shame about the telegraph pole… I wonder how much it costs to get them to put the cables underground?
Winter is on it’s way… In light of last years storms and heavy snowfall over the past few years our status as Flood Wardens has been updated to cover other Emergencies as well and we have recently received the latest Emergency and Flood Plan for Borth and Ynyslas.

I think that having hit 32 consecutive days on Saturday we are coming to the end of our geocaching streak. We went out on a high though with a 5 star mountain challenge. That’s 5 stars out of 5 stars in case you were wondering. As mentioned in a recent post about our walks up Cadair Idris and...
Morgan and I had a lovely day in the Moelwyn Mountains on Thursday. We had our sights on the final feeder cache for the Gwyddno Mountain Challenge geocache.
