Birthday on the Beach
Amazing, I managed to get the 14 year old Morgan off his xBox and out onto the beach briefly, despite the fact that it was his birthday! The temperature hit 18.7ºC here today, crazy temperatures for February. I was at home with Morgan so after some work jumped on the Turbo Trainer for a tough...
Surf-Ski on the Bar with Steve and Sam
The surf was forecast to be good this weekend so I’d put the call out to see if anyone fancied a surf ski session here on Sunday. Steve and Sam who I’d met last year in Fishguard were up for it and were heading up from Hereford. There weren’t any other takers though. Making Plans...

When Should Children be introduced to Competition?

Here, we shall look at the national game, football, as the example.
