Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
[dropcap]R[/dropcap]ather than send Morgan to Holiday Club for the summer Anna and I are taking various days off work so that we can be at home with him as much as possible. Some of these are days off work at the University, others for me are days off Website Design work. Tuesday was the latter...
I had to go to Conwy on Monday to deliver some website development consultancy to a client. It’s about a two hour drive from here and of course a two hour drive back, but you know me, that sounded a little boring so I decided to turn the whole thing into a bit of an adventure. Rather...

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.
