- Making the most of modest means
What a day for a Bank Holiday! After a nice early morning stroll along the beach to avoid the crowds we enjoyed a quiet breakfast in the conservatory before heading into Borth to man the stalls at the Borth Charities Fete.

Thought I’d beat the crowds and get to the beach before they did this morning.
I can’t quite believe it… Gorgeous sunshine on a Bank Holiday weekend. That can only mean one thing, a busy beach – busier in fact than we’ve ever seen it. Not to worry, we’ll soon have it back to ourselves. It was great weather for the Aber Cycle Fest as well. There were four Sportives...

What could be better than a mellow little post-work SUP surf session? How about a SUP surf session with cetaceans. A couple of adult dolphins to keep me company. Nice!
Morgan was at home ill on Monday, he wasn’t too bad but he was recovering from a nasty bout of diarrhea and sickness on Sunday, so I was housebound too. I did a fair bit of work first thing, then did an hour on the turbo trainer with some VO2max intervals courtesy of ‘Shortoff +1’ from...
Hooray, I’ve got spotty toes. Kind of summery, like little bubbles in the sea.
