Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
This may be showing my age, but the University tagline used to be ‘Where the Mountains Meet the Sea’. It’s always nice therefore to have a day where I manage to get in the sea and then head off into the hills. Things have been a little quiet here since we returned from holiday. Anna...
After an awesome day in the hills on Sunday morning, I was back home by around 2:30 pm and the surf was going off!! It was warm, the sun was shining and the waves were pumping. What better way to cool off after a run in the hills than jumping in the surf for what...
I’ve had a cold all week. It was brewing last weekend while kayaking and walking in the hills but it got a little worse after that. I’ve been good, putting all ‘training’ on hold and have done nothing other than sit at my computer working. It never got really bad so no time off was...
My new surfboard is proving it’s worth. I was half expecting there to be no surf for ages having treated myself to a new board, but that hasn’t been the case. I’ve therefore managed to get out on it a couple of time already. The first time was a little short-lived as I snapped my...
I know it seems like I’m always buying new toys, but I’m not really! Take my surfboards for instance. The last time I bought a new surfboard was last century. I can’t even remember exactly when because ‘blogging’ hadn’t been invented then so there’s no record of it on this weblog! It must have been...
That’s more like it – Saturday was a double dip day! Surfing I started off with a nice surf in Borth. The sun was shining, well it was when it wasn’t absolutely hammering it down!. The waves were good too and I had a new board to try out. I caught some nice waves and...
One nice thing about having the garden under control is the fact that whilst feeling ill with Covid I’ve at least been able to sit in the garden without an over-whelming urge to do some work on it. Everything is tidy and doing well so I’ve been able to just sit and chill. It’s not...
The weekend just gone was all about power! A lack of electrical power some of the time, and plenty of power from the Forces-of-nature. The Forces-of-Nature Saturday saw strong wind here at Ynyslas. 50-60mph all day long and with temperatures close to freezing it was quite an adventure just going outdoors. Anna and I took...
We had a fairly rare (for this time of year) calm day here at Ynyslas on Monday. Well, calm for here anyway with winds in the 10-20 knot range but they were blowing offshore and there was a lovely swell to go with it. A nice 3 foot swell peeling nicely off the sandbanks at...
It’s that time of year between Christmas and New Year. We’re all at home, there’s loads of food to be eaten and there’s not much happening. This year it’s also pretty grey and uninteresting out there. Thursday was drizzly and still to start the day so I headed out for a nice easy run. I’ve...
