Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Sea Breezes I had some nice windsurf sessions last week. First was a session on Wednesday when a lovely NW wind kicked in. The temperatures were still in the mid 20’s and the sea was lovely and warm so no wetsuit was required. That’s almost unheard of here. Coupled with that, the high temperatures created...
Just a few reasons as to why we love living at Ynyslas.
We’re all busy people and there are never enough hours in the day to fit everything in. I think I do better than most people though. Despite having a young family, a job, running my own business and all the usual chores to do I still mangae plenty of recreation time by maximising my time....
We didn’t really have much planned for Bank Holiday Monday. For a start I kind of forget about Bank Holidays as I don’t usually ‘go into’ work on a Monday but work from home. However, Anna and Morgan were off so it seemed as though we should do something. Running around Ynyslas I was up...
Just a few of the waves from my SUP surf session on Bank Holiday Monday morning. Not a soul in the water here at Ynyslas other than me. Lovely mellow waves to start with then got a bit bigger towards the end so that I could charge down a few steeper faces.
Snow and Surf in one day here in West Wales. I love it when that happens. I was a little surprised to see the snow this morning though as I made my way to Machynlleth for a morning run followed by a swim, and it was still there as I left to had back to...
Saturday was fairly grey and dreary this weekend. That didn’t stop me from getting out on the water for a mellow day at Ynyslas though. SUP Surfing on a Mellow Day at Ynyslas First up was a mellow little SUP surf off the seafront. The waves were only small and gutless but there was enough to play...
It seems that no matter what the weather there is always something to do here in Mid West Wales. After a week of wind and plenty of windsurfing, the wind has dropped and I headed out on my bike. I missed a surf session whilst on my bike, but since then the surf has continued to...
Impatient Al… Yep, that’s me. The surf was looking amazing on Wednesday afternoon but I had to wait for Morgan to get home before I could get in the sea. In the end I met him from the bus on my bike so that I could give him a ‘backie’ home. It was quicker than walking...
More summer fun at Ynyslas as the summer starts to come to a close. A nice long walk first thing in the morning as the sun rose. Followed by A SUP Surf and some more tandem surfing with Morgan – So much fun! After a little bit of pottering in the garden and the shed...
