Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Autumn is definitely here and for the first time in ages we had a proper Ystwyth-MTB night ride. I haven’t been out on my Mountain Bike much lately because I cracked the frame and then had to rebuild it and then just haven’t had the chance. Dave has been out quite a bit on his...
I enjoyed my swim in Lake Bala yesterday for Diabetes UK Cymru. When I got up the weather looked perfect, sunny spells and no wind at all, but then I looked at the temperature and saw that it was at 2.6ºC – It’s getting chilly out there at night now. By the time we got...

As per usual, the children go back to school and the weather is gorgeous. According to the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station it was the 2nd warmest day of the year, the warmest being back in May. Not only that but the surf was really good yesterday as well. It wasn’t huge but it was...
Sometimes the familiar just catches your eye. I see these things everyday of my life and something about the contrasting reds and greens always catches my eye. I can never do them justice in a photograph – probably a failing on my part rather than that of the subject. They probably only appeal to me...
Boys will be Boys!
It’s the last day of the school holiday today and the weather is gorgeous. Ynyslas doesn’t get much nicer than this. Anna has started her new job today so I’m at home with Morgan and we’ve just got back from a wander across to the beach for some Dune Jumping.
