Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Autumn is here and winter is definitely on its way, but we still managed to get a decent group of us out for an open water swim in Clarach this morning. Despite the dark dingy start to the day, complete with some rain for good measure, I met Amanda, Graham, Sharon and Mel in Clarach Bay. After...
I remember a song from my days at Sunday School about the ‘Foolish Man’ who built his house upon the sand. It went on to say that ‘when the rains came down’ his house didn’t stand firm. I did wonder about this in 2003 when we started building our house here, on the sand at...
I don’t have much work on at the moment, which means I don’t have any money. If you need a web designer then feel free to hire me, I’m quite happy to do computer tuition in the area too and I’m pretty good at turning my hand to gardening or painting as well. Anyway, this...
The sunshine really does make things nicer. Borth and Ynyslas are nice all the time, even when it’s blowing a gale and pouring with rain it has a certain, exposed charm all of its own, but when the sun is out and ‘the living is easy’ it can’t be beat. These last few days have...
Summer didn’t hang around long this year! September arrived and so did Autumn, and with it came the winds. Last week was windy everyday, 30-40 knots all day everyday in fact, so I obviously went windsurfing a few times and blew away some cobwebs.The weekend was set to be a good one too with wind...
Well, I had a busy day yesterday and despite initial reports I did actually do some work. In fact I did a bit first thing in the morning along with some housework, but as the wind was once again blowing a hoolie I was on the beach rigging up my windsurfing kit by about 8:30am....
I’ve just come across a photo of the water feature in our garden from November 2010 so thought I’d take a photo of it today for comparison. Strange to think that in just 90 days it could go from what it is now to the slightly colder looking version on the right. I guess that...
And here’s the second installment of video from our trip to Brechfa yesterday… Enjoy the ride.
Rather than working today, Dave, Pete and myself met at Abergorlech near Brechfa for a ride around both the Gorlech and Raven Trails. It turned out to be a great day out with some really good riding. The trails there have matured well and were riding fast. They weren’t too wet or muddy either which...
[dropcap]S[/dropcap]ummer’s back and Morgan has been out flying his kite on the beach here at Ynyslas… It was a little too windy for him so I had to rescue him as he got dragged down the beach. He seemed to enjoy it though.
