Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Yawn yawn… Hot, sunny and still no rain. How much longer can this go on? We’re not complaining as it’s lovely here in this weather and the beach is always calling. Barefeet and boardshorts has been the order of the day here for a while now along with at least twice daily trips to the...
It was our 14th wedding Anniversary today so we had a day out together at Gregynog Hall. It was another scorcher too, the 7th day in a row that temperatures recorded by our Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station exceeded 30ºC, surely that must be some sort of a record. After seeing Morgan off to school...
Heatwave We’re getting used to this heatwave now. It’s once again 28.1ºC out there at the moment and it doesn’t even feel that hot now as we’ve seen temperatures up above 30ºC every day for the last week. Before that it was up into the mid to high 20’s for a while and we haven’t...
Another gorgeous day in Wales with temperatures up around 30ºC and glorious sunshine. Thankfully Barmouth is only an hours drive away so I wouldn’t be spending too much time on the road today. I set off early anyway as I’d prefer to be on the beach in the sunshine than driving in the van. I...

Another day and the summer of 2018 continues to astound with yet another day of wall to wall sunshine and temperatures up into the 30’s. What better way to start the day that a dip into our giant aquarium with an early morning swim. 10 of us out today with the Aberystwyth Aquanuts swimming from...
Just a quick video today as we managed to press the wrong buttons on the GoPro do missed much of the snorkelling action today. All of the diving and swimming around under the water, the lobster, the blennies and the clear blue seas failed to record as we were just taking random snapshots rather than...
This summer weather is just too good. 20-odd degrees and wall to wall sunshine yet again yesterday and it looks set to stay that way all week. The sea is luscious too. Deep green, as clear as can be and warm too. It was especially warm yesterday afternoon in Borth. The sun had been warming...

Oh I do Like to be Beside the Seaside I guess that’s no secret, I not only like ‘being beside the seaside’ but being in the sea itself too. There’s just something about it, and not only for water-sports lovers such as myself. Take Anna, she barely ever gets in or on the sea but...
