Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Yep, you’ve read that right. Bear with me for an adventure into the weird and wonderful workings of my inner mind that can only lead to one thing. Time Time is weird. According to Einstein and his physics pals it’s relative and that does indeed seem to be the case. When we are young, live...
The 2018 Heatwave continues and the week has been full of days in the sea and out in the hills. The weather was a little more bearable last week with temperatures only into the mid 20’s rather than the 30’s. The beach has been as gorgeous as ever and mid-week it’s possible to have it...
It was our 14th wedding Anniversary today so we had a day out together at Gregynog Hall. It was another scorcher too, the 7th day in a row that temperatures recorded by our Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station exceeded 30ºC, surely that must be some sort of a record. After seeing Morgan off to school...
Heatwave We’re getting used to this heatwave now. It’s once again 28.1ºC out there at the moment and it doesn’t even feel that hot now as we’ve seen temperatures up above 30ºC every day for the last week. Before that it was up into the mid to high 20’s for a while and we haven’t...
The gorgeous summer weather continues here. 25.5ºC yesterday which was plenty hot enough, especially for lawn mowing! 20ºC today was mouch more comfortable and lovely blue skies throughout. The sea is feeling as though summer is here and the garden is growing well. I had a busy day on Monday, starting off the day with a...
With my brother Jay and his family visiting for the weekend and the sun shining it seemed silly not to have a day on the beach. Jay, Harry and I went out for an ride in the morning. I made sure it was a hilly one for them. No big climbs just something that was...
Another lovely sunny day here as summer continues. Biking and weights first thing then a windy surf ski session into the estuary and back for a little play in the waves. Snorkelling Borth Reefs Lunch in the garden and then into Borth for a snorkel around the reefs with Morgan. There was loads to see out...
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....
You know me, I just love getting stuff done. Early Morning CX Ride I was up early as usual on Saturday morning. I managed to do an hour or so of work on the computer and then decided to go for a ride. I could have ridden with Simon later in the day but it...
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...
