Tough Mudder Video

Here’s the video from our Tough Mudder attempts at the weekend. Don’t forget it was all to raise money for Diabetes UK.

Muddy Team 2

Tough Mudder

Well we did it… Completed the London West Tough Mudder and raised loads of money for Diabetes UK. It was all Rebecca’s fault! She has Type 1 Diabetes and talked me into doing it with her and a couple of her friends. I didn’t really know that much about the event itself when I agreed...

Running, Surfing, Sky’s Garden Nursery & Bike Riding – Bank Holiday Fun from Ynyslas

We didn’t really have much planned for Bank Holiday Monday. For a start I kind of forget about Bank Holidays as I don’t usually ‘go into’ work on a Monday but work from home. However, Anna and Morgan were off so it seemed as though we should do something. Running around Ynyslas I was up...

Bank Holiday SUP Surfing

Just a few of the waves from my SUP surf session on Bank Holiday Monday morning. Not a soul in the water here at Ynyslas other than me. Lovely mellow waves to start with then got a bit bigger towards the end so that I could charge down a few steeper faces.

Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Recipe

The doctors have told Anna to cut down on gluten somewhat. She’s not gluten intolerant, but cutting it down may help reduce inflammation and therefore help reduce the symptoms of her rheumatoid arthritis. It’s worth a go so we’re trying to eat a little less gluten. We don’t want to miss out on the gooey goodness...

5* Windsurf Session at Ynyslas

As promised, here’s some video clips of a 5* windsurf session. As with many of my windsurf sessions it took place here at Ynyslas and I was all on my own. It was a bit of a surprise session as I wasn’t expecting quite so much wind. However, on the way home from work there...

Windsurfing Video

Oops, forgot to add any video clips to my last post about playing in the sea, so here are some clips from a session on April 24th. Nothing too exciting just a nice blast on big kit at Ynyslas. I had a surprise session last night as well. The wind was stronger, I was out...

Playing in the Sea

The air temperatures may be all over the place, but that doesn’t stop me from playing in the sea. According to the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station in our back garden, the temperature so far in April has soared to 19°C on the 8th, a lovely temperature for any time of year here on the coast....

An Afternoon in the Garden

After our poppy making at the Wonderwool Wales Festival on Sunday morning, we drove home and collectd Morgan on what was now a gorgeous day. It looked likely to be the last day like this for a while though as the weather was set to take a turn back towards winter. The sunshine and temperatures...

Poppy Making Stand 1

Poppy Making at Wonderwool Wales

Well, that was something a little different for us. A friend of ours who is instrumental in organising the Wonderwool Wales Festival asked if we could help out for a few hours on Sunday. We said we’d be there as that’s what we’re like and so we headed off into the unknown on Sunday morning. We...
