Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I had a busy day on Saturday. A nice early start, an hour or so of work and then into the car for the drive to Bristol. Breakfast at MacDonlads and then met up with Jay’s ‘stag party’ for a korning of activities. First up was Quad biking which was fun. Muddy and slippery but...
What a day… Lovely winds and huge seas and a few other peoplke out windsurfing and kitesurfer here at Ynyslas on Saturday. All was going well, the adrenalin was flowing thanks to the big waves and I was having a really good windsurf session, until out the back my UJ snapped and my board went...
Just some photos taken at Ynyslas today… A lovely sunny, windy autumnal day in the dunes. The dunes looked really nice with the grass flowing in the wind and the sun shining on them so I thought I take a few photos and share them with you here.
You have seen the results of Morgan’s photography, now here he is in action!
We had a lovely sunny autumnal day yesterday so Morgan and I headed off to the woods at Ynyshir overlooking the Dyfi Estuary on a ‘Fungi Foray’. I’m not too good with fungi identification so the plan was to take some photos of them rather than to collect them. Morgan had Anna’s digital compact camera....
I met Steve on Saturday and went for a mountain bike ride at Llandegla in North Wales. This was my second time around the trail. We took it relatively easy and had a good time albeit with one or two sketchy moments and a crash for Steve. (Follow link above for full report). Afterwards we...
Last weekend we took a little walk around a local nature reserve where they keep Water Buffalo. The buffalo seemed to be enjoying the wet, boggy conditions of the Dyfi Estuary and we had a pleasant little walk along the boardwalk… Although it was a shorter walk than we had expected. Morgan was more interested...
Grrrrrr…. that’s all I can say. Usually living here on the beach in West Wales and working as a freelance website designer is perfect for me as it means I can pretty much go windsurfing whenever the wind blows. Unfortunately there has been very little wind for the last month or so, but all that...
It has taken a while but it seems that summer has finally arrived and we made the most of it this weekend. Blackberry picking and mountain-biking in Artists Valley on Saturday, followed by a quick wash in the river. Then an early morning mountain-bike ride at Nant-yr-Arian on Sunday. Early enough to watch the sunrise...
My site is worth $5234.1.How much is yours worth? Just came across a little web app that attempts to put a value on your website. Not particularly useful but nice all the same. It looks as though it simply bases the value it gives on various stats (that are probably gathered from alexa?) and then...
