SUP Surfing with the Garmin Fenix 3
I managed to squeeze in a nice little SUP Surfing session on Monday and decided to try out the Surf Tracker app on my Garmin Fenix 3. The conditions were nice, a gentle SW breeze and 2 foot surf rolling into the beach at Ynyslas. The sun was shining, the temperature was almost 20ºC but...
A DIY Weekend at Home
It seems to be a rare occasion that we get a whole weekend at home these days, especially one with no real events to attend. But that is exactly what we’ve just had. This was partly due to the fact that Morgan was ill so couldn’t go to a special orchestra practise that he was supposed...
Mellow Yellow
The garden seem to be going from its ‘Purple Passion‘ stage into a ‘Mellow Yellow’ mood instead,.

Poorly Boy
Morgan on a day off sick from school… Only 5 minutes before he told me he was feeling better.
A Family Stand-up Paddle Board Session
With summer in full swing and what looked like the best day of the week weather-wise it seemed a shame to work all day while the sun was shining so Anna and I arranged to finish at 3pm collect Morgan from school and then head to the beach. It would have been nice to go...
