Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The weekend was here and the summer continues. Temperatures here on Saturday made it just above 20°C again with a maximum of 21.2°C – just about perfect as far as we are concerned and as usual we had a busy day making the most of it. I started the day going out for the cycle...
From whence there was a field, a pile of rubble, some breeze blocks and wooden frames comes the bright colours of summer flowers. Summer continues and the flowers are loving it. The garden is full of life, the water butts are running dry and the pots need constant watering. It is nice to have a...
As I’m sure you know by now we are at last having a proper summer. It’s been a while coming -10 years since the last one as far as we can remember – but it’s here and looks set to stay for a while too. Weather conditions have been perfect here in West Wales. Whilst...
Yep, that’s right, we’ve now had a whole week of summer – amazing I know, but true. It wasn’t quite so hot yesterday with temperatures only just topping 20°C at 20.3°C here, but that was just about perfect, especially with a light cooling breeze. Unfortunately for me there wasn’t a huge amount of time to...
How long can this weather continue? Yesterday was Day 6 of Summer 2013 and once again we had wall to wall sunshine, light winds and a glorious day. Temperatures topped out at 23.1°C. If only we didn’t have to work and do the normal daily routine! Here’s some summery garden photos for you. The Wedding...
What better way to start the day than a hill-reps induced endorphin rush! A 50 minute hilly run was on the training plan and seeing as it is a 20 minute run to the nearest hills I usually drive to the foot of them and run from Borth. My car is in the garage being...
Day 4 of Summer dawned with clear blue skies and plenty of promise. Lots of work to do today though so once again it was an early start in order to fit it all in. Blogging, cleaning, vacuuming, breakfast, stretching, working on websites and then off to a local business to work on their invoicing...
This glorious weather that we are having makes such a difference. Everyone seems happier and this part of Wales is seen in its best light. It’s just a shame we all have to work and go to school. So, in order to make the most of it I was up early yesterday so that I...
Summer finally arrived on Saturday and it was still with us on Sunday which turned out to be a glorious day. Wall to wall sunshine and temperatures just edging into the 20’s. I started my day with a run and swim in Machynlleth followed by coffee and a bacon sandwich. By the time I got...
Hooray, Summer finally arrived yesterday, but it took its time coming. We had a busy day ahead of us so my day started at 5am with a bike ride. Nothing too exciting, just a couple of time around the Borth Loop, with a 14 mile Time Trial effort thrown on for good measure. Unfortunately the sun...
