Tales from a down-shifted family

Wow, another action packed day and on a Bank Holiday too. Open Water Swim First things first and that was to start the day with an early morning sea swim. Not too early today as it was a bank holiday but I was on the beach at Borth by 6:30am ready for a 7:00am start....
Just a nice photos of Trefechan Bridge and Aberystwyth that I took before my early morning sea swim last week. Thanks to the zooming effect on my iPhone, the low light and the atmospheric mist and murk it looks more like a water colour painting than a photo.
This part of the world really is the best of places to be when the sun is shining. Surf Ski Saturing started with a lovely surf ski paddle from Ynyslas, into Borth, on towards Wallog and back. A deserted beach, a calm sea, a rising sun and the best of places. I kept up a...
Hooray, It’s Friday. The sun is shining, I’ve already mowed the lawn so the garden is looking nice ready for us to enjoy at the weekend, and the forecast is good. And just look how busy the beach is!

A few photos from a walk in the dunes with Morgan. We were going to walk into Borth for ice creams, but my back was still sore and Morgan would rather spend as little time as possible outside so we kept it short. I’d been out in the garden replacing some wooden edging around the...
That was a nice change, people to share the waves with at Ynyslas. I know that most people like to find waves to themselves, but I have that every day here so having someone to surf ski here with was a nice change. And, with free parking, free coffee and free waves what’s not to...
Phew, that was a bit more of a paddle than I was expecting! I was just going out for a nice easy paddle within no real plans in mind. Although, saying that I did take a banana and a drink with me when I usually take nothing – my sub-conscious obviously had more of an...
The snow melted today and the sun came out so I couldn’t resist a little stroll around Ynyslas. Sometimes it’s easy to take where you live for granted but doing so when you live here would be a crime, so here a few photos from home at Ynyslas.
