What a Scorcher

Just as we were getting ready for winter and getting used to the cold, grey, windy autumnal weather we’d been having, September has thrown us a bit of a surprise. I don’t think it counts as an Indian Summer quite yet as the official definition is a period of seven days or more occurring after...

The Garden Continues to Produce

Despite the high winds and very autumnal weather we’re having, the garden is still producing for us. The herbs are all still doing well and so is the veg. We dug up our last crop of potatoes recently and have been gradually munching our way through the beetroots. There are some onions that look just...

‘Tis Autumn!

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...

No Time For Work

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....

90 days from now…

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...

Beach Photo Walk

You don’t get nicer mornings than this. Clear blue skies, no wind and not too hot. Oh, and a deserted beach backed by the Cambrian Mountains – Not a bad place to live.

Garden Flowers

It’s another gorgeous day here, clear blue skies, a light breeze and currently 19ºC. Yesterday it reached 24.5ºC, which although it felt hot wasn’t the hottest day of the year so far as we hit 25.3ºC in June 3rd. It’s a shame we have to work on a day like this, but I have just...

Being Tourists

What a scorcher! It felt like summer yesterday and with Morgan off school and Anna having a day off work I decided to join them and we headed across to the beach first thing in the morning. Morgan and I headed off in the inflatable canoe whilst Anna sat on the beach relaxing and reading...

Good weather for the bees

After the late spring onslaught it looks as though the weather may have settled down for a day or two. Summer officially started on June 1st and as I write this at 7:40am on June 2nd, it is already 15.2ºC out there, the sun is shining and there isn’t a puff of wind. Usually the latter fact...

Garden Battered by the Spring

I haven’t posted a garden update here for a while. After the gorgeous early spring weather with plenty of sunshine, little rain and very warm temperatures things took a turn weather-wise. Very strong winds, rain and cold temperatures saw the garden suffering a little. As usual the plants coped OK for the first few days...
