Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Wow, another action packed day and on a Bank Holiday too. Open Water Swim First things first and that was to start the day with an early morning sea swim. Not too early today as it was a bank holiday but I was on the beach at Borth by 6:30am ready for a 7:00am start....
This part of the world really is the best of places to be when the sun is shining. Surf Ski Saturing started with a lovely surf ski paddle from Ynyslas, into Borth, on towards Wallog and back. A deserted beach, a calm sea, a rising sun and the best of places. I kept up a...
Nothing much to report from the weekend really, except for the fact that the thick sea fog that we had to contend with on Friday did clear on Saturday to leave a glorious day. Perfect for a surf ski paddle and then a Gravel Bike ride in the hills. The enforced rest of the previous week...
It’s hard to decide what to get people as birthday presents these days and Morgan is never very helpful on that front either – he obviously has everything he wants!

How’s this for a spoilt cat?

A few photos from a walk in the dunes with Morgan. We were going to walk into Borth for ice creams, but my back was still sore and Morgan would rather spend as little time as possible outside so we kept it short. I’d been out in the garden replacing some wooden edging around the...
That was a nice change, people to share the waves with at Ynyslas. I know that most people like to find waves to themselves, but I have that every day here so having someone to surf ski here with was a nice change. And, with free parking, free coffee and free waves what’s not to...
It doesn’t seem that long since we had to say goodbye to Robbie – a long standing and much loved member of the family. We really miss her so it didn’t take long to start putting a plan in place for a replacement. Now Robbie was always a bit of a weird cat, with a...
It wouldn’t be Christmas without the building of toys. Mind you, as Morgan gets older and technology takes over his life it’s harder than ever to prise him away from the screen. The fact that he had an X Box for Christmas didn’t help with this but I did manage to get him to help me build...
