Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The Easter holidays continue and we were all of work and school on Wednesday. Morgan had a friend coming to stay for a sleepover and we had an afternoon out planned so I started the morning with some work followed by a quick run. Anna was still in bed when I got back but I...
After a lazy day on Monday our Easter Holiday continued with a lazy day on Tuesday as well. Swimming in the Sea I started off the day with some work on the computer and then headed over to the beach for a quick 2km swim in the sea. The sea temperature has just about reached...
After a fairly wet and miserable weekend, the clouds cleared last night and we were finally treated to the sort of sunset that Ynyslas does best.
It looks as though pollution has made it to Aberystwyth. It was fine yesterday but it’s looking pretty murky out there today. It could just be a sea mist of course but we were expecting the smog caused by pollution that has been affecting other parts of the country to make it to West Wales...

I didn’t manage to get any good photos of the fire on Borth Bog this morning as I didn’t have much time to do so, but here are a few that I did manage to snap. There are some here from other residents too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-26185361
