Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Day 15 of our trip to New Zealand started early for me – There’s nothing unusual there, most days start early for me and when in such a beautiful place I want to make the most of it by grabbing every hour that I can. I started off by going out for a run whilst...
Well, the first ever Aberystwyth Seaside Triathlon was a roaring success. I hope everyone had a good day. I’m sure the competitors won’t agree with me but I reckon helping to organise and marshall all day is actually harder work than when I’m racing. I’ve now uploaded the photos I’ve taken to the Aberystwyth Seaside Triathlon...
We had the Aberystwyth Beekeepers Association photo competition on Tuesday evening. Vicki who was orgainsing it this year had put a huge amount of effort into it so there were some really good prizes up for grabs. We however didn’t really put much effort into it this year as we didn’t have much time so...
Whilst I was out riding the Isle of Man End2End on Sunday, Anna and Morgan were out there driving from one end of the island to the other trying to spot me as I rode past. The were also manning the camera and got a whole load of shots of riders as they flew past them....
We put the moth trap out again last night, but with cooler temperatures and stronger winds there weren’t quite so many moths come the morning as there were the other night. That did of course make going through and identifying them a lot easier this morning and Morgan and I had fun doing so. It...
After a glorious night of star-gazing last night we were treated to an amazing sunrise too. You can’t beat the natural world for a light display.
I’m really keen to take some photos through our new telescope. I knew this wouldn’t be easy. The world of astro-photography is complex with many diverse techniques that need to be learnt, practised and perfected. Some of the photos you can achieve are truly outstanding, but I think it will be many years before we...
We had an amazing view of the Gallilean Moons of Jupiter last night. It was a lovely, clear, still night and Jupiter could be clearly seen in the South South East, shining brigher than all the stars around it. We could see the Milky Way too, but with a pair of standard binoculars it was...
Well done to all those who competed in the first ever INTRtri Autumn Aquathlon yesterday. It was a great event with good conditions. I hope you put in a time to be proud of. I was pleased with my result and you can read my race report here: INTRtri Autumn Aquathlon Race Report. Once I’d...
Just a few photos of Steve windsurfing the other day. I was too ill to join him so stood on the side-lines with my camera.
