- Making the most of modest means
Another early morning swim in Aberystwyth. This time with Helen, Emma, Richard, Larry, Martin and Victoria and a small pod of dolphins. Dolphins! We could see the dolphins in the bay before we got in, playing in the early morning sunshine and chasing fish. We got in and swam out towards them and then after...
Sunday dawned wet and miserable and didn’t look good for our apiary safari in Llanafan. I was going to go for a ride but decided against it when I saw the weather. Instead, I got up and did lots of household chores and then baked a Greek Honey Cake ready for the afternoons beekeeping meeting. It turned...

I of course couldn’t resist joining them so booked a...
I had a fun little estuary adventure on Wednesday. My day started with an early morning swim from South beach in Aberystwyth out around Castle Point and back onto North beach with Graham, Helen, Richard, Mike and Victoria. I do think I picked the wrong activity though because as I left the house to drive...
