Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’ve got some new toys from Gun Sails. As you’ve probably seen, I’ve been out windsurfing a little bit again recently. Trouble is much of my kit is now very old. It wasn’t in great condition as it was, but whilst I wasn’t windsurfing for a while our shed was in desperate need of repair...
That was a good day, especially as it was only Friday and not even the weekend. Up early as usual after a poor nights sleep for an hour or so of work on the computer and then off for a fairly hard 70 minute run from home. It shouldn’t have been that hard as it wasn’t...
Glad to see that Morgan is following in my footsteps (or should that be toe-steps)…. He currently has Pacman toes. Pacman on his big toes and ghosts on his other toes.
It may be raining out there again, but the garden is growing well. I’m loving the wildflower verges around the University campus at the moment too.

This is all due to the fact that I’ve had a few niggling injuries. Injuries Last year it was plantar fasciitis,...
The amazing weather we’ve been having has finally changed and blue skies have been replaced by grey this morning on the beach. It’s still warm at 15ºC throughout the night, and yesterday we reached a maximum of 26.3ºC, the hottest temperature of the year so far. There was a little bit of swell too yesterday...
This part of Wales can be the perfect place to live at all times of the year and whatever the weather, but when the sun has been shining for a week or so, the temperatures are in the 20’s and there hasn’t been any rain it’s a paradise. Clear blue skies, gentle breezes and clear...
