Family Days Out
Yet another action packed Welsh Weekend. Saturday was as good as it gets as far as windsurfing is concerned and Steve and I had an excellent day on the water. Full windsurf diary entry here. Saturday evening was spent having dinner and quite a bit of wine with Dave and Sarah. We then made an...
A little bit of work and lots of play…
I managed to go out looking for yet another geocache today, it did only take about half an hour but it beats working! Actually I had planned to go windsurfing as well this afternoon but the wind was gusty and I felt ill so I didn’t bother. The wind is looking good for the weekend...
Helping with the washing up.
Couldn’t resist posting this photo of Morgan helping me with the washing up this afternoon!
Speed Geocaching Wales
I had a quick trip up a hill today to find a couple of newly hidden geocaches. Found them both before heading back down the hill to collect Morgan from nursery. Being self-employed certainly has its advantages at such times as I am able to pop-out whenever the mood takes me, and today was such...
Dysynni Valley – Our first geocoin
We had another nice weekend here in West Wales. My parents came up on Saturday night to see us, so Saturday was a bit hectic, trying out the new tumble drier (which still makes far too much noise), tidying the house, mowing the lawn etc. Sunday morning was equally hectic as me and my dad...
Tumble driers, electrics and parents
It’s been a busy week here in our simple life of luxury.. We decided as winter was approaching to add to the luxury and splash out on a tumble drier. We of course bought the only ‘A’-rated model available which apparently uses 50% less energy than other models even though on that setting it takes...
A hard day at the office
I just love living here in West Wales and working from home. After seeing Anna and Morgan off to work / nursery I set to work at my computer, sitting in my office with my slippers on and a cup of coffee. I actually got quite a bit done this morning but as the wiond...
A day of Geocaching
We had a good day today. Morgan got up earlier than usual, so despite the clock going back we didn’t get any extra time in bed so were up and ready to go quite early. Perfect really as it meant we could attempt some of the new geocahces that have been hidden in and around...
The end of Summertime
It’s that time of year again, the clock go back to GMT, the end of BST, the nights are darker, the mornings temporarily lighter and those that suffer from Seasonal Affective Diorder (SAD) start getting grumpy. I actually quite like this time of year, once again things are all changing and those long evenings snuggled...
