Playing FTSE

Just after I started working as a Freelance Website Designer here in West Wales, I decided that due to the fact that I wouldn’t have a company pension scheme that I should put some money away each month that could act as a pension. Some went into a standard ISA savings account, although most of...

Non-Stop Busy-ness

Being a freelance website designer may mean that I have a distinct lack of disposable income – in fact sometimes it means I have a complete lack of income let alone that of a disposable nature – but it does mean that I can work, rest and play to my own schedule rather than being tied...

More fun in the Snow

We had quite a bit more snow here last night so after breakfast there was nothing for it but to head out into the garden and then over to the beach and the golf course for a play in it.   All the fun and games was followed by a delicious ‘Epic Hot Chocolate’ complete...

Down with the Lurgy

I’ve been pretty healthy for the past year or so. There was a time when I seemed to get every cold and lurgy that was going, but over the past year I’ve been pretty much illness free. I’m not sure what to attribute this to but I have made a few changes and I’m sure...

Christmas Windsurfing

I haven’t done much training over Christmas and I’ve now got a sore throat so decided against a run today as well. Instead I went for a little windsurf session off the seafront in some moody conditions. Nicely powered with a 5m sail and some nice ramps out there too. Nothing too extreme, just a fun...

Epic Hot Chocolate

Mmm, now that was an epic hot chocolate. Complete with chocolate chips, marshmallows and squirty cream and the chocolate itself was thick enough to stand a spoon in. Nice!

Back on the Water – Windsurfing at Ynyslas

Well, after a day in the hills on Sunday and my first mountain bike ride for ages, it was time to go windsurfing for the first time in months too. Most people who know me will know that I ‘usually’ windsurf pretty much anytime there’s wind which here means most days of the year! However,...

Christmas Day – 1 month Early 1

Christmas Day – 1 month Early

Having been to New Zealand this year we are having to have a less extravagant Christmas than usual in order to save some money. No big four bird roast for us this year, not even a big goose or  turkey instead we were planning to have a £10 3 bird roast from Iceland! Whilst in...

Mmmmm, Coffee and Cake!

I was going to write a round-up of our trip to New Zealand, what we liked best, some of the best photos what we thought of the country and the differences and similarities between New Zealand and the UK, but I’ll save that for another day. Instead, a post about cake! One of my favourite things about...
