Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Friday was apretty windy one with winds in the 30-40 knot range for much of the day. Perfect for me as a windsurfer, so after a 5am start and sveral hours work I had a lovely session on the seafront. I’m glad I didn’t wait for Snoozer to turn up on the beach as the...
We haven’t really been up to much lately. It’s that lull between Halloween and Christmas so not much is happpening. We’ve been buying presents but I can’t mention those for fear of giving the game away. We’ve avoided the funfair in Aberystwyth this year. Morgan keeps asking if he can go but we can’t really...
Sunday was a busy one for me. My training schedule had me down to do a swim and a run, but the tri club were meeting for a road bike ride as well, and Steve was heading this way in order to go windsurfing… Would I be able to fit it all in? In the end...
I’ve just got back from a little windsurf session in the estuary. The wind was OK, just enough for my big wave board and 5m sail, but it was a little gusty which isn’t surprising for an ESE wind. The direction also wasn’t ideal for sailing in the channels so with a rapdily ebbing tide...
Just a few photos of Steve windsurfing the other day. I was too ill to join him so stood on the side-lines with my camera.
Another day and yet more wind, and better still, the sun was shining. Needless to say I went for a windsurf here in West Wales and had a nice little session. I didn’t stay out long though and today for a change I thought I’d share some of the ‘not so good bits’, the crashes...
It was another wild and windy day here in West Wales, so just a short windsurf session for me today as I was a little tired after a long mountain bike ride yesterday and the conditions weren’t exactly easy. I walked over to the beach with my kit and met Tom and Sam there. I...
Autumn is here for sure this time and that of course means plenty of wind and some good windsurfing conditions. Sunday was always supposed to be good by the afternoon, so after and early morning start at 5am to watch the Grand Prix and then a swim in Machynlleth followed by a bacon sandwich it...
I don’t have much work on at the moment, which means I don’t have any money. If you need a web designer then feel free to hire me, I’m quite happy to do computer tuition in the area too and I’m pretty good at turning my hand to gardening or painting as well. Anyway, this...
The wind arrived as forecast on Wednesday, continuing what has so far been a very autumnal September. With blue skies and a decent 30-35 knot SW wind I’d normally sail on the seafront, but Graham is just getting back into windsurfing and I’ve been encouraging him to get out and the seafront would have been...
