Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Following on from my achilles injury I forced myself to have a week of complete rest. To be honest I could barely walk for the first couple of days so I didn’t really have any choice, but it seemed to pay off. My achilles is still sore if I walk too far on it and...
Nothing much to report from the weekend really, except for the fact that the thick sea fog that we had to contend with on Friday did clear on Saturday to leave a glorious day. Perfect for a surf ski paddle and then a Gravel Bike ride in the hills. The enforced rest of the previous week...
Whilst many places in the country seem to have wall to wall sunshine and summery weather, we have yet again had nothing but mist and murk with temperatures in single figures thanks to a thick sea fog . I did manage to hobble over to the beach with my surf ski for some nice waves...
It’s hard to decide what to get people as birthday presents these days and Morgan is never very helpful on that front either – he obviously has everything he wants! Anna had a good idea for him this year, Young Driver driving lessons. Experiences such as this are always good presents for people who have...

I’m all about maximising Time on the Wave (TOW). Usually TOW stands for Time on Water and you all know that I already do that. Surfing, Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Swimming, Kayaking, Surf Skiing, Canoeing, Stand-up-Paddle boarding have all got me out on the water as much as I possibly can whatever the weather. The conditions are...
How’s this for a spoilt cat? A room to herself with a view of the garden Personal enclosed litter tray Scratching post Multi-tier faux-fur cat tree thingy Cat toys on the window-sill A Lazy, sunny afternoon A comfy sofa to stretch out on And no, the trophies and medals aren’t the cats, they’re mine!!
Another good surf ski session here today. The surf wasn’t quite as big as I had hoped but there was still plenty to play in. No intervals No targets to meet No hard efforts No marginal gains Just fun and games I can’t be bothered to edit video now either and didn’t get that much anyway as...
Time for a MTB race – well, a non-competitive, mass start MTB personal challenge really! After being asked to race for Scimitar Endurance I felt as though I should at least enter a few of the races that the others in the team were doing. Chris was signed up to do the 1st in the series...
I missed out on the Colwyn Bay Surf Ski races today. I could have gone, but it’s a 2 hour drive each way to North Wales. I’m supposed to be driving south tomorrow to Builth Wells so I decided it was best to save some diesel and stay at home. My back has been sore...
