Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I decided to organise a Boxing Day swim with the INTR Triathlon Club this year. We didn’t have a huge number of takers and I think a few of those that did turn up were just trying to humour me, but they enjoyed themselves in the end and were glad they did it. The air...
I think Morgan may have broken a record on Christmas Day as he managed to make it start at 2:30am! Santa had already been, so he came into our bed with his stocking and opening the presents in it. For some reason Santa must have been punishing us as he had left him an electronic...
It may be cold, wet and dreary out there, but its Christmas for the Homey Bees too, so we’ve given ourbees a Christmas treat this week in the form of some fondant. Having not fed bees in the winter before we weren’t too sure how to do it but I gave it a go with...
Death of a PC Unfortunately, while we were away a few weeks ago the PC that runs the Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station died. It had been on its last legs for a few months anyway and had been constantly crashing, seemingly unable to cope with the demands of running 24/7, 365 days a year. It...
I’m quite enjoying my running at the moment. My ankles and knees might not be, but my head is. With the right gear, you just can’t beat a nice early morning run in the Welsh hills, watching the sunrise catching the snow on top of thills. It really does make you appreciate what a perfect...
Just a few quick clips from a lovely sunny, bit cold winter windsurf session on Wednesday. 30 knot Westerly winds with air temperatures around 5ºC meant that with the windchill we were looking at sub-zero temperatures. It was still good fun though.
We’ve spent the last couple of evenings watching Morgan’s Nativity play at school. This year it was titled ‘Barn in a Barn’ and showed us the nativity scene from the view of the animals; an owl, a cockerel, a cat, a donkey, cows, sheep, camels and numerous other small rodents! It was well done as...
Thanks to everyone for my birthday greetings, cards and presents yesterday. Although I did do a little experiment on Facebook where I hid my birthday from my profile until the evening… During that time I didn’t get a single birthday wish via Facebook, but within seconds of switching it back on they came flooding in!...
The days are pretty short at the moment here so I had to rush to fit everything in today. I was up early to sort out the laundry and do some chores and then do an hour or so of work on the computer whilst I waited for first light. Once there was some light...
It may be cold and wintry out there, but that doesn’t stop me windsurfing. Well, to be honest it did a little on Monday and then on Tuesday my back was aching so I didn’t get out either, but I made up for that yesterday with a nice session, well powered up in 30-40 knots...
