Willow Warblers in the Garden
It’s always nice to see the number of bird species we get in the garden increase and the latest addition to the list is the Willow Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus). At least, I’m pretty sure they are Willow Warblers. There was a little family of them eating insect from various plants in the garden. A little...
The Square Festival, Borth
Believe it or not, our sleepy seaside town of Borth is home to a music festival. Complete with 6 stages, 60 bands and up to 3000 people. If that many people do attend, than could more than triple the population for a day or two. The Square Festival as its known is on the 26th...
Eve Smith Painting – Ynyslas
Our final stop of the day on our anniversary was The Frame House in Borth. Instead of buying each other anniversary cards and presents we had decided to treat ourselves to a nice picture for the wall. We didn’t really know what we wanted so we stopped off to have a look for something suitable....
Rambling through Ceredigion
As I mentioned a while back, the Ceredigion Coastal Path is due to open soon. First Minister Rhodri Morgan will be joining in on the activities to launch the path between July 4th and July 9th. To mark the opening of the path Ceredigion Ramblers have organised a six-day festival that will see the whole...
Geocaching for BBC Radio Wales
Geocaching seems to have turned me into a media hound! Maybe not, but I did do an interview and spend a morning geocaching with BBC Radio Wales the other day. This was completely unrelated to my recent article that was published on the BBC Isle of Man website, but I was approached by the producer...
Fun at the beach in Wales
We’ve had some fun at the beach recently. Nothing unusual there, but its good to make the most of it and all too easy to take it for granted when it is so close. Morgan and I built a huge sandcastle one morning and watched the tide destroy it. We also tried out Morgans new...
Coastal Gardening
It’s been a while since I mentioned how the garden is getting on but I’ve been spending some time on it recently so thought and update was due. Most things are growing well despite the difficult conditions. Our soil is nothing but sand, the winds are ferocious most of the time and the air is...
Inflatable Canoe – Sevylor Panama
Our latest ‘toy’ is an inflatable canoe that we bought from the unlikely source of Lidl in Aberystwyth. It is a two man inflatable canoe, although we can get the three of us in it fairly comfortably and it comes complete with seats and various storage compartments. The inner is your normal plastic rubber dinghy...
Geocaching in Cheddar and the Mendips
After our relaxing morning sailing at Axbridge Reservoir we headed off to Cheddar and drove up the gorge. There were a few geocaches in the gorge so we stopped off to do these. The first was a quick cache and dash called ‘Home of the Cheddar Pink‘ on the roadside. It was a gorgeous day...
