Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
At Morgan’s school, each weekend one of the reception class kids gets to take home ‘Tedi Twt’ with instructions to look after him, keep him clean and dry and take him with you wherever you go. Kind of like taking the hamster home for the holidays without quite so much responsibility! It may not be...
Cool, I’ve just seen an article on TimesOnline saying that hundreds of sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) are to be released at various sites around the UK to boost the population. One of those sites is to be the dunes here at Ynyslas. “In an attempt to restore Britain’s rarest lizard, the species is to be...
I haven’t been out of the house for a week so as it was such a lovely day I just had to go for a nice easy walk in the dunes. I had Morgan with me so it was more of a tiny little stroll really, but I still managed to take a few photos....
A fairly non-descript day here today. Not enough wind for windsurfing, no surf, a little grey in the hills (although a bike ride may be on for later in the day) so Morgan and I wandered across to the dunes to chill out. There wasn’t much happening there either, but we did see some funky...
After taking Morgan for a swimming lesson yesterday morning, in which he didn’t do as asked as usual, we heaed off for a walk in Penglais Woods where there was a special craft day going on. We had a nice little walk along the footpath from the entrance opposite the university and then in a...
The Dyfi Valley has joined the ranks of world-famous sites including Mount Olympus in Greece and Ayres Rock in Australia as the first biosphere in Wales. Biosphere reserves are sites recognised by UNESCO – United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation – which demonstrate successful approaches to conservation and sustainable development. There are 553 Biosphere...
I had a lovely drive through parts of mid Wales this morning. I’d got up early to go for a record attempt on a local Mountain Bike route. As I left the house at 5am I was greeted by a flock of geese flying low over the coastal raised bog as the sun rose with...
Now that the clocks have gone forward there is plenty of time for getting out and making the most of the light in the evenings. The weather was gorgeous yesterday so Anna, Morgan and I took a stroll across to the dunes. A recent report said that children don’t get to spend nearly as much...
Just a few photos from a recent walk along the Leri. As you can see it was a fairly sunny day, but cold as well. In addition to the horses we also crept up on a large flock of Geese on the Leri.
On the way through Borth yesterday I saw a Little Egret flying just above one of the drainage ditches so today morgan and I headed off for a walk along the River Leri in search of it. The Little Egret is a recent colonist, normally found along the south coast, and on parts of the...
