Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It looks as though there is an evacuation in process thanks to the flooding. Ceredigion County Council have released the following advice: BORTH: Natural Resources Wales is predicting waves of 1.8m/6ft above sea level at high tide tonight at 21:20. This could cause substantial flooding. We strongly advise residents to vacate all properties and move...
Well, the Ynyslas flood alert seems to have been justified. High tide has been and gone, but the swell is still increasing so waves are still over-topping the sea defences here. The River Leri has burst it’s banks and the road between Ynyslas and Tre Ddol is closed due to flooding. Things are looking fairly...
Anna and I are local ‘Flood Alert Wardens’ for Ynyslas. According to the Flood Plan Guidance for Communities document this means that we: act on the advice received from the flood plan coordinator or their assistant puts flood protection measures in place helps and advises vulnerable people and helps move them to safety early if...
I hope you’ve all had a good Christmas and New Year? The weather here hasn’t been great but as we are all off school and work there has been plenty of opportunity for quality family time together. Other than going away in the summer as we sometimes do it’s really the only time we get...
Following my catastrophic chaffing from a turbo trainer session the other day I haven’t really been able to sit on the bike, so yesterday I went for an early run instead. It was blowing a gale and pouring with rain and barely light when I headed out, but I had it ion my mind to...
I’ve been trying to fit some training in during the Christmas period, despite not having a structured plan to follow. I have also been trying to spend plenty of quality family time with Anna and Morgan so have spent lots of time out walking in the hills, geocaching in the woods and strolling on the beach....
We’ve just returned from a nice little walk with the Devil’s Bridge Walkers. We’ve been meaning to join them on one of their monthly walks for a while now, but things have conspired so that we’ve been unable to do so. We made it today though and what a day for it. Chilly, but clear...
Hyper-gravity Training? What’s that. Well, it’s just a silly term applied to training of any sort whilst carrying extra weight. The idea being that the extra weight and therefore extra work you are doing by carrying that weight whilst, running, cycling, or even doing household chores means that you burn more calories per hour whilst...
I think we may have had a lucky escape with the bees this morning. It’s been blowing a hoolie here all day, after starting to do so last night. I took a quick look at the hives this morning and all looked OK, although it was dawn so the light wasn’t great and I was only...
It’s become a bit of a Christmas tradition for us now. Every year I give the family a gift of a calendar based on photos of the previous year. It doesn’t actually take too long to do thanks to the built in calendar creation tool in iPhoto. I use iPhoto to manage my photographs anyway...
