Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’ve been set a training plan by a coach in the triathlon club and have therefore been trying to stick to it. On the schedule for Wednesday was a hilly 45 minute run. Now, it’s 4 miles to the nearest hill from here so running from home means that all of my runs to date...
The Dyfi Enduro 2011 results are out. You can download the spreadsheet here. I’m pretty pleased with my placing just inside the top 100. Everyone else that I ride with did really well too. Jon came in 18th (11th in his category) in a time of 3:07:13 – The winner Neal Crampton did it in...
Do you like our new pet? I think he could do with a slightly larger cage, although we do let him out to ride his bike around the garden now and then.
The official photos from the 2011 Dyfi Enduro are out, but I’ve been seeing lots of others too so here’s a round up of some photo galleries from the Dyfi Enduro 2011. Right Time Right Place – The Official photographer of the Dyfi Enduro 2011 MBNW– A nice album showing the Dyfi Enduro riders, the...
Don’t worry I won’t post these every day, but as the bees have now been here for a couple of days and the wind has eased I thought I’d watch them for a bit to see how they are getting on. We fed them when we housed the nucs in the hives and have since...
The Mr. Potato Head Easter Egg that Morgan had for Easter didn’t last long – it was made of chocolate afterall! Morgan enjoyed making him though so Anna kept the packaging that the various body parts came in, melted up some more chocolate and poured it into to moulds to make new body parts. Here...
The caterpillars are back, creating their weblike nests in the trees. This year they are in a Willow tree rather than the hawthorn at the moment, but once again I think they are the caterpillar of the Lackey Moth. Morgan discovered them this year and took this photo to show me.
It may not be the fastest way to travel, but it’s not far off it and it’s certainly one of the most fun ways of getting from Ynyslas to Borth and back. Fast, coastal gun-running in the sunshine of Wales – Perfection!
Our second Nuc of bees arrived on Saturday evening. This time Jim brought them around and transferred them for us before it got dark. He did exactly the same as we did though so it looks as though we got it right first time. We now have two hives in the garden with a new...
As promised in my 2011 Dyfi Enduro Race Report, here’s some of the video I shot on my GoPro HD whilst riding the Dyfi Enfuro yesterday. Enjoy.
