Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
A very unusual day for me – the only time I ventured outside was topless for a few seconds in order to do some semi-naked star-jumps on the deck in an almighty squall! With the weather in West Wales putting on a display in was most certainly an indoor day. We therefore spent the day...
We put the moth trap out last night and then had a nice surprise as there were fireworks at the caravan park so we stood in the garden watching the fireworks whilst moths flew around the trap and bats swooped by to eat them. It was a lovely evening out there, if a little chilly now, although temperatures...
And so the summer continues. As usual Tuesday was a busy day with lots of running around and things to do but the highlight was a gorgeous open water swim in Aberystwyth followed by dinner on the prom watching the sunset and listening to Anna playing in the band. The temperature didn’t quite make it...

Usually its just the lack of wind that prevents me from windsurfing but lately with big races such as the European Triathlon Championships looming it has been a combination of lack of wind, lack of time and the fear of injury that has kept...
It still isn’t warm here but temperatures have at least made it into double figures for the past few days. It got to 12°C here yesterday and pretty much stayed that way all night as well with a minimum temperature of 10.1°C. Combined with misty, murky conditions, the relatively warm temperatures seemed ideal for moths so...
It’s nice to see the sunshine and some colour in the garden at last. Things are still off to a slow start this Spring though with snow still on the hills and very little happening in the garden. Here’s a few flowers enjoying the sunshine on Easter Sunday.
