Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Things continue to change on the beach here. They change every day of course and that’s part of the beauty of living by the sea. Winds, tides and the seasons change things day by day. No two days are ever the same, but there have been some longer-term changes happening lately that may not be...
It’s that time of year when I could almost write a blog post about the garden on a daily basis as there’s so much happening. Even on the slightly grey dreary days there’s plenty to do and plenty of new plants and flowers emerging. On the sunny days it seems to transform itself. Jobs to...
I’ve had a cold all week. It was brewing last weekend while kayaking and walking in the hills but it got a little worse after that. I’ve been good, putting all ‘training’ on hold and have done nothing other than sit at my computer working. It never got really bad so no time off was...
There weren’t many photos of me in my recent post about our scramble along the Nantlle Ridge. That’s because when I took photos they were of the scenery or of Rhys. I’ve not had some photos from Rhys’s camera which had a few of me, so here they are.
After paddling a new river on Sunday, I had planned to walk a new ridge on Monday. I’d been a little under the weather with a cold on Sunday, the kayaking didn’t really help matters but it had been fairly relaxed so I don’t think it did any harm. I was still full of cold...
Sunday was the last of the Aber Kayakers winter ‘White-Water Development’ day trips. There was at least some water in the rivers this time but only a few of us were available to paddle. Ro, Callum, John and myself therefore met in Aberystwyth and headed out to a new river for me, the Upper Wye....
This windsurfing malarky is not only frustrating but expensive too. Wednesday afternoon was sunny and windy so arrangements were made with Lawrence for an afternoon session. He had to travel down from home so I was out on the water before he got there. It didn’t seem that windy on the beach but it’s always...
As the winter fades away and the spring sun begins to warm our days, it’s time to start thinking about getting the garden ready for the new season. There is something so satisfying about a well-maintained garden. Not only does it make our outdoor space look beautiful, but it also provides a place of solace...
My new surfboard is proving it’s worth. I was half expecting there to be no surf for ages having treated myself to a new board, but that hasn’t been the case. I’ve therefore managed to get out on it a couple of time already. The first time was a little short-lived as I snapped my...
Just a pretty photo of this morning’s sunrise – no filters applied, this was straight out of the camera. Impressive colours and note that our lawn is neat and tidy already thanks to the robot mowers!
