Xmas Decking
We had some snow last night and with the Christmas Lights on it’s looks lovely out there. If only it were Christmas tomorrow, not next week.

Freeze Dried Herbs
We were quite pleased with the progress we made in the garden this past summer, but it may have all been in vain. The recent cold temperatures may well have killed a few plants off. Some will have made it through but some are certainly looking a little worse for the ordeal. I guess we’ll...
A New Temperature Record
I mentioned yesterday that we had recorded the coldest November temperature at -5.6ºC since we started recording weather here in Borth and Ynyslas with the Borth Weather Station. Well, we beat that this morning with a new low temperature of -8.3ºC. That is not only the coldest November temperature, but the all time lowest temperature too. ON top...
Garden Ice-Feature
Just got back from driving around here and there, doing a few geocaches and such like and Ynyslas seems to be the place with the most snow around here. Odd that as being next to the sea it is usually the place with the least snow, but not this time. Delivery drivers have been saying...
Winter’s Here
It’s not even December yet but we seem to be in a pretty deep cold spell at the moment. I’ve just been checking the stats from the Borth Weather Station in my back garden and it is currently -5.8ºC here. I know it will probably be colder elsewhere as being so close to the sea...
It’s Snowing
Just a quick video of the snow here this morning, and it’s got quite a bit deeper since I took this.
Winter Garden Colours
I haven’t mentioned the garden for a while, but it’s still looking OK. Whilst working on it over the summer one of the things I tried to do was put some plants in that would provide some winter colour. I know we’re not quite into winter yet but it has been pretty frosty out there...
Winter Firsts
Well, we had our first sprinkling of snow for the winter last night. Only a tiny bit here and temperatures were down to -1.2ºC on the weather station. Morgan was unimpressed, but Anna and I are always excited by a bit of snow. There could be a bit more on the way as well. If...
That didn’t quite go to plan
The conditions this morning looked awesome for windsurfing. A rare strong SE wind and some decent waves to give us 30 knots of cross-offshore winds and super clean, head high waves to play on. Perfect for down-the-line wave sailing and not conditions we normally get here as it’s usually cross-onshore so the waves are never...
