SY23

It was Morgan’s 17th birthday last week – yep, watch out, that means he’s on the roads of Aberystwyth having driving lessons! I took him for a drive in Ynyslas at the weekend too so that he could try out his L-plates and our car. Not the new car obviously!!! We didn’t have a party...

Solar Tactics

A post just for Laura as she seems to be more interested in our solar panels than she is with her own! We’re beginning to get the hang of how to make the most of them. That will change throughout the year of course and we’ll have to adjust as we go. The issue with...

Michelin starred delights at Ynyshir Hall, a romantic weekend at Palé Hall and a family meet up at The Great House in Bridgend.

St Fagans and The Great House

We’ve just got back from a nice weekend away in South Wales. As usual at this time of year we try to combine my birthday, my Mums birthday, my brothers birthday and a Christmas get together into one visit.

Is Clotting the Problem?

I’ve been wondering about clotting recently. First some background for context. As you may know, I was super-fit, super healthy and the last person on Earth that anyone expected to have any heart issues. Despite that I had a major heart attack earlier this year and have been recovering since. As is often the case,...
