Day 2 of our mini trip to Pembrokeshire. Pembroke After a relaxed breakfast at our Air BnB we headed into pembroke to explore the town. We wandered through the streets and around the Mill Pond which didn’t take long. It did allow me to tae some photos of the castle though. With plenty of time...
Anna and I have recently returend from a short break in Pembrokeshire. The main reason for it was so that I could continue some Coast Path run, but it was also a nice opportunity to get away for a few days for some sight-seeing, some relaxation and some good food. Morgan was obvously not interested...
PC games and graphics cards are so intricately connected that it’s only natural to believe a regular laptop won’t be able to run any good ones.

Morgan spent the weekend at the Big Tribute Festival. I don’t think there was much planning involved but he seemed to enjoy it even if he hasn’t really told us much about it. Despite camping in a field with thousands of other festival goers he somehow managed to blag a nice hot tub every morning...
Just a standard Ynyslas Sunset for you today – one of the many last week. The camper and Surf Ski obviously set it off nicely.
Well, after missing a week windsurfing in Morocco, things didn’t turn out too badly here on the wind front. In fact I managed to get out on windsurfing every day. Most days were on the seafront in decent conditions nicely powered up with a 5.7m sail. There was a session where I had to change...
Last week whilst at the Commonwealth Games I had a message from Simon telling me that he was going windsurfing in Morocco. His daughter was supposed to be going with him but wasn’t able to go so he had a spare ticket. Did I want to go? The accomodation was all paid for so the...
During this recent heatwave we have had clear skies all day long. This gave me a chance to notice a dip in our solar production that seemed to follow a very simialr pattern each day. The following sequence of photos shows four days of solar production during this time. As you can see there is...
