Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I missed out on the Colwyn Bay Surf Ski races today. I could have gone, but it’s a 2 hour drive each way to North Wales. I’m supposed to be driving south tomorrow to Builth Wells so I decided it was best to save some diesel and stay at home. My back has been sore...
A few photos from a walk in the dunes with Morgan. We were going to walk into Borth for ice creams, but my back was still sore and Morgan would rather spend as little time as possible outside so we kept it short. I’d been out in the garden replacing some wooden edging around the...
I do often wonder what things would be like if I didn’t do quite so much training each week. It’s takes up quite a lot of time, usually about 15 hours a week. I’m not training seriously at the moment but trying to fit in several swim, kayak, bike and run sessions a week, along...
When we built our house here one of the reasons for picking Ynyslas was that it was the windiest place we knew of and was therefore windsurf perfection. I spent most of my time on the beach here windsurfing so it made sense to build a house here as well. Anna could at least chill...
That was a nice change, people to share the waves with at Ynyslas. I know that most people like to find waves to themselves, but I have that every day here so having someone to surf ski here with was a nice change. And, with free parking, free coffee and free waves what’s not to...
It’s only going to be short-lived as the weather is getting colder again soon, but it certainly felt like Spring out there today. There were still some small waves left over so after missing out a little on them over the weekend I started Monday morning with a lovely little surf ski paddle in the waves....
Another weekend away in Ramsey our Campervan for me. Although it was quite a wrench to tear me away from Ynyslas on Saturday morning. I had arranged to meet Mark in Colwyn Bay, but before I left I wandered over to the beach in the early morning sunshine. The skies were blue with the sun...
Phew, that was a bit more of a paddle than I was expecting! I was just going out for a nice easy paddle within no real plans in mind. Although, saying that I did take a banana and a drink with me when I usually take nothing – my sub-conscious obviously had more of an...
The snow melted today and the sun came out so I couldn’t resist a little stroll around Ynyslas. Sometimes it’s easy to take where you live for granted but doing so when you live here would be a crime, so here a few photos from home at Ynyslas.
