Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As you may know, my performance at the Rother Valley Triathlon last year meant that I qualified to compete for Team GB in the European Age-Group Triathlon Championships this year. After having such a good time in New Zealand at the World Champs, I wasn’t going to pass up on another opportunity for some travel...
Well, that didn’t quite go to plan. The idea was to head over to the beach to make the most of the sunshine, get the kites out, fly them for a bit and then mess around trying to attach my GoPro to them to do some aerial photography. Morgan and I headed over with all...
That’s the Big Garden Birdwatch done for another year. As usual during the hour that we allocated we didn’t really get anything exciting, except for a load of Lapwings. If it had been last weekend then the list would have been full of thrushes and redwings but we saw none of these today. As always...
I still haven’t managed to get any really good photos of the birds that have been in the garden during the snow. I’m not really patient enough to sit out there hidden away somewhere so I’ve taken a few photos through the conservatory windows instead. They aren’t the cleanest conservatory windows at the moment so the...
Another day and another snowman – although the snow here at sea level is now beginning to disappear. Still loads in the hills though.
All the snow we’ve had recently has meant that there have been plenty of birds in the garden looking for shelter and food including Redwings and a Snipe. I couldn’t get close enough for a decent photo of either though, mainly because Morgan was chomping at the bit to get out and play in the snow so...
We had quite a bit more snow here last night so after breakfast there was nothing for it but to head out into the garden and then over to the beach and the golf course for a play in it. All the fun and games was followed by a delicious ‘Epic Hot Chocolate’ complete...
We missed out on the recent snow here, but the forecast seems to suggest that when the high presure over us finally gives way and allows a low pressure system in from the west, the wet air from the Atlantic will hit the cold air currently sitting on top of the UK and we could...
Turbo Trainer throughout the winter can become a little dull (although I quite enjoy it!). So, to spice things up I’ve been following one of the TrainerRoad training plans. The plans themselves are OK, although by necessity they are a little generic. That’s fine at this time of year for me though as I’m only really doing...
