Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
These are not the most exciting additions to the landscape here at Ynyslas, but we seem to have acquired dog poo bins. Let’s hope it stops people leaving little bags of dog poo all over the place. The bin itself isn’t pretty but it should be better than little plastic bags everywhere and as far...
As you may have read from a previous blog post, I’ve signed up to do ‘The OMM’ later in the year. This could prove to be quite a challenge for me these days. I’m obviously never going to be as fit or fast as I used to be which won’t help. This is not only...
The wind was supposed to be blowing on Saturday, but the tides were high around midday which kind of made it difficult to get out on the seafront. As it happened there wasn’t much wind in the morning anyway so I jumped on my turbo trainer for a nice little sweet-spot ride instead. I say...
OMM… no, I haven’t taken up some sort of Hindu spiritual chanting! I have however been talked into signing up for the Original Mountain Marathon (OMM). I’m not taking full responsibility of course, it’s all Lawrence’s fault. He twisted my arm and badgered me into saying I’d do it with him. It started with a...
I know that we no longer have a child, but that didn’t stop Anna and I from going to the panto – Oh yes we did!! Morgan of course wasn’t interested in going with us, what 17 / nearly 18-year-old boy would want to do such a thing? He is going with a group of...
Air Fryers seem to be all the rage at the moment. Most people who have them seem to rave about them but we were somewhat on the fence. The general selling points seem to be So, how do they actually stack up? Well, in the name of gadgetry goodliness, we got one for Christmas and...
A New Year and it’s back on the water for me! I had to go out at Llanrhystud again rather than from home. It’s not my first choice as it means a bit of a drive to get there. However, as I need someone to sail with and Alastair prefers it there that’s the price...
I don’t need an excuse to go for a walk around the dunes at Ynyslas – I do it most days in fact. However, I wanted to try out my Insta360 camera so took it on my usual little walk. I’m not really sure how to shoot with it yet or how to edit the...
It wouldn’t be Christmas with a Christmas Day blog post. To be honest, there isn’t a huge amount to blog about really. You could probably look back to the Christmas Day blog posts from the past few years and it would be almost the same! That’s not a complaint of course, more an observation that...
I windsurfed at Llanrhystud for a change yesterday. The run-up to Christmas has been fairly busy thanks to trips to Bristol, work and the general December mayhem. Christmas Eve Eve was our first full day off and there was supposed the be some wind. The forecasts were spot on in the morning. The strong early...
