Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Morgan’s school was closed on Thursday as it was being used as a polling station, so we decided to make the most of the opportunity and Anna and I took the day off too. We decided that it would be the perfect day to head the the Blue Lagoon, a water-park on the edge of...
Morgan and I wandered across to the beach to help with the Borth & Ynyslas Beach Clean yesterday. Dave & Sarah organise these on a fairly regular basis and recently for various reasons such as being away, children’s parties, too windy etc. etc. we’ve been unable to help out so it was good to be...
Sorry, I couldn’t resist a political post here on the weblog! Worse still, this is far too late, but it is interesting. I’ve been complaining about the media coverage in the run up to the election and the fact that there is very little information about the policies of the parties, but more emphasis on...
As you may have read in a previous post I’ve been wanting to transform the garden a little and give it a garden makeover. Rather than just a piece of grass surrounded by shrubs and flowers I want to create a garden that leads you on and encourages to explore a little further. I want...

I always enjoy gardening, especially the planning and landscaping of a garden, but here on the coast of West Wales, gardening of any type is challenging. We have to contend with poor soil (sand to be precise), strong winds and salty air. Coming up with any sort of a ‘garden’ is difficult and most people...
I’m supposed to be doing the Wotton Triathlon in just over a week, but preparations aren’t going too well. Jay, Brad, Matt and Beale are going to love reading that! I should be training hard for it now and then easing down by the middle of next week ready for the race a week on...
It was a little warmer last night, but still dropped to 4ºC so it wasn’t a great night for moths, but at least there were a few in the trap this morning, including a Flame Shoulder (Ochropleura plecta) which was new for me and a lovely looking moth 4x Shoulder Stripe 2x Hebrew Character 2x...
