Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Don’t worry, I haven’t gone out and bought yet another board!! The JP Freestyle Wave Board that I bought last week had a little issue so I got in touch with Boardwise and arranged to swap it for something else. This meant that I spent Tuesday driving to the Midlands to take the JP Freestyle...
What with coronavirus, a heart attack and the subsequent recovery, I hadn’t been up to North Wales for a paddle for ages. I used to go fairly regularly for the Colwyn Bay races with the North Wales Surf Ski Paddlers and the Llyn Padarn Time Trials with the Dyffryn Conwy Paddlers. The latter of these...

As mentioned previously I try not to run on consecutive days as I tend to get injured if I do. That meant that Monday was a free day in Pembrokeshire for us and we needed something to do. I decided that Picton Castle and Gardens looked nice so we though we’d head there first. It’s...
After my run along the Coast Path from Freshwater West to Rhoscrowther we still had an afternoon to play with. So, after a shower at the cottage it was back into Angle to try out Cafe Mor that I had ran past earlier. Cafe Mor Their website says: Cafe Môr started life in our little...
