Garden Flowers
Just a collection of some of the flowers in our garden at the moment.
Summer Surf
Summer continues and Friday brought with it not only more wall-to-wall sunshine and temperatures in the high teens but also some summer surf. So, after a short session on the turbo trainer and lots and lots of household chores we (Morgan and I) headed over to the beach form a summertime surf. We were due...
My Kind of Day

Sunshine from 4 am until the sun sets at around 9:30pm and temperatures up into the 20’s everyday. Wind...

When this was taken there was barely a breath of wind. That soon changed though whilst I was doing a hard VO2Max Interval session on the turbo trainer....
View from the Dunes this Morning
Summer is definitely here so time to make the most of it. Here’s the view from the dunes this morning. Time to get the work and the chores out of the way and enjoy it while it lasts.
