I’ve had another action packed weekend here in Mid Wales. Enjoying the best that the area has to offer, all thanks to Anna who of course had Morgan to contend with on Saturday whilst I enjoyed myself. Steve arived at around 9am and we headed off to Pendam for a mountain bike ride out to...
Hopefully Anna will add here perspective on our holiday to the isle of Man, and over the coming days I shall be adding some details of each day, but for now here is the overview. We are all back safe and sound, although I wouldn’t say rested… As usual when on holiday with a 2...

Friday and Saturday were as good as they get here… Friday afternoon saw 30-40 knot winds, glorious sunshine and some big waves. I was out windsurfing from the beach just in front of our house and having a whale of a time. To start with I was on my own and playing it fairly safe...
I think I’m right in saying that most of the UK has been experiencing some unseasonably nice weather over the last week, with temperatures in the 20’s and gorgeous blue skies and blazing sunshine.. Here in Wales we certainly have and for me it has been as good as it gets. We have a local...
