Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Just spent an excellent day building a full on igloo in the garden. Morgan and I started at around 9.30 this morning and were then joined by Dave and Sarah. I made blocks in a plastic flower planter and arranged them whilst Sarah was trapped inside smoothing off the inner walls. It is surprisingly good...
For those of you who aren’t bored with my GoPro HD video footage, here’s the video from yesterday’s windsurf session.
We had some snow last night and with the Christmas Lights on it’s looks lovely out there. If only it were Christmas tomorrow, not next week.
We were quite pleased with the progress we made in the garden this past summer, but it may have all been in vain. The recent cold temperatures may well have killed a few plants off. Some will have made it through but some are certainly looking a little worse for the ordeal. I guess we’ll...
I did try geocaching – unsuccessfully it has to be said – in 6 feet of snow in Slovenia once, but it was a little easier in a couple of inches here in Wales. Saturday was a glorious sunny morning with snow on the ground so after an FTF on a puzzle cache Morgan and...

This is hard, and of course not at the published coords, this puzzle stood uncracked between 1918 and 2010,...
Morgan and I went geocaching again after school on Thursday. I’d already got an FTF on a puzzle cache on the way to school and did a quick cache and dash near to Gogerddan woods. Then after collecting Morgan from shcool we drove to one of my favourite little woodlands just outside of Bow Street...
Just got back from driving around here and there, doing a few geocaches and such like and Ynyslas seems to be the place with the most snow around here. Odd that as being next to the sea it is usually the place with the least snow, but not this time. Delivery drivers have been saying...
I noticed yet another new geocache in the area on Wednesday. I took a look at it but it was a puzzle and as I was feeling ill I didn’t really have the brain power to solve it. I sent it to Anna as an e-mail and pretty soon she had an answer for me,...
