Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Just from the record, I called the conditions right earlier in the week. I said it would be chilly for a Saturday Surf Ski and it was at 5ºC. Amazingly the sea temperature is still pretty warm at 11ºC though. It’s a good job really as my GoPro fell off at one point so I...
Artificial grass. It’s one of those things that many gardeners have been trained to look down upon as not only a form of ‘cheating’ but as a poor substitute for the real thing. The truth is though, artificial grass has come a long way since the days of neon green AstroTurf that’s covered in sand...
I’ve posted a few times lately about the various Food Boxes we’ve been ordering. These have been from the likes of Gousto, Hello Fresh and MyCookbox. We even had a Hello Fresh Christmas Dinner Box. Food Box Referrals For the most part we only buy them when we have a special offer or we have...
Huge Skies and some big waves at Ynyslas today. Not a bad sunset either! Shame I’m suffering with some sort of man-flu lurgy otherwise I would have been out there playing in the sea.
This year our family gathering and Christmas get together was at the Festival of Light at Longleat. Grab a coffee as this could be a long post as we had a packed day at Longleat. Morgan had been ill the day before and we all had a bit of lurgy so Friday evening was spent...
With the winds having finally dropped enough for us to put our giant inflatable elf out on Monday evening, it would have been remiss of me not to get out for a paddle on the sea on Tuesday – especially as it was my birthday. So, that’s exactly what I did with a nice little...
After a week off due to a cancellation it was back to it at the weekend for more cyclocross racing. This time we were at Gilestone Farm in Talybont-on-Usk which was a new venue. I didn’t know what to expect from the course, but no doubt there would be plenty to test us. It was...
As well as the photos of the surf at sunrise this morning, here are a couple of little video clips too.
There was no cyclocross race this weekend, which was ideal for me. Windsurf Demo Day First up it meant I could meet Steve in Aberdovey for the Boardwise Demo Day on Saturday. Typically there wasn’t quite enough wind on that side of the estuary for windsurfing, but we had a nice day catching up in...
Those of you paying attention will notice that Round 5 seems to be missing. Unfortunately Storm Callum resulted in widespread flooding around South Wales, with the Carmarthen area being pretty badly hit. Now, a little bit of weather doesn’t usually deter us hardy cyclocross types but there is a limit. Travelling was not advised during...
