Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Another wet and very windy weekend here in West Wales. We don’t let that stop us though. A good Spring clean (even though its Winter) early on Saturday morning without waking Anna and Morgan meant that the house was ready for the Christmas decorations to go up. It’s surprising what you find under the sofa though!...
Having had a bit of a return to form with some mountain bike downhill records in the morning, I thought that a windsurf was in order today as well. Just like the old days! The wind was howling, the seas were big and the air was a lot warmer than it had been. What else...
2 Day Weeks Another weekend has gone and this one was a Bank Holiday Weekend – Although I’d kind of forgotten that as they all seem to roll into one these days. I also work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays every week so Bank Holiday Mondays don’t mean much to me. The weekend was action...
It’s always nice to start the day with a sea swim. Sometimes however the sea isn’t in the mood for you to swim in her. Luckily for those days there’s always windsurfing!!
Another good day at the office here. Topped off with a nice surprise as a decent sea breeze filled in. Barefoot and board-shorts once again and this time on board my big windsurf kit too. I actually rigged far too big really as I was overpowered with my 6.7m sail most of the time. I...
Oh I do Like to be Beside the Seaside I guess that’s no secret, I not only like ‘being beside the seaside’ but being in the sea itself too. There’s just something about it, and not only for water-sports lovers such as myself. Take Anna, she barely ever gets in or on the sea but...
The conditions were just too good to miss once again today. Sunny spells, 20-30 knots SW winds, warm waters and 3 miles of sandy beach. I just had to go windsurfing. My foot was feeling quite a bit better after a couple of days relative rest to allow the wound to heal. It wasn’t fixed...
You know me, I just love getting stuff done. Early Morning CX Ride I was up early as usual on Saturday morning. I managed to do an hour or so of work on the computer and then decided to go for a ride. I could have ridden with Simon later in the day but it...
That was a nice surprise. After a Surf Ski paddle in the morning, the wind filled in much more than expected and I had a sunny windsurfing session in the afternoon as well. Surf Ski The surf ski session saw me paddling into an increasingly strong wind towards Aberdovey. I therefore had some chop to...
It may be the depths of winter. It may be cold. It may we grey, damp and miserable. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun here at Ynyslas. Surf Skiing to Borth and back. Surf skiing in the waves. The first after work, sunset windsurf session of the year too. Near freezing temperatures and dark...
