Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We all went to the Panto in Aberystwyth yesterday – Oh yes we did!! When I say all I mean, Anna, Morgan and myself along with about 20 others in our group including a load of Morgan’s friends and their parents. We of course were only a small group in a packed house. It was Cinderella...
I didn’t have much time for ‘training’ today so thought I’d fit in a quick but hard run at lunch time. I’ve been trying to do some VO2 Max intervals along the beach recently but haven’t been able to get the intensities, pace and distances quite right for it to be manageable but hard. The...
I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I ate far too much over Christmas and did very little exercise so it’s now time to get back to it. The ‘rest’ doesn’t seem to have done too much damage as I felt OK on our Mountain Bike Ride at the weekend although I have put...
Well, I had good intentions to go for a swim yesterday. The university pool is closed, there is no swimfits or circuits this week so I thought I’d better get wet and do some swimming at Plascrug Leisure centre. I checked online to make sure they were open and then drove all the way into...
We didn’t do an end of month ride in December as the snow was still deep in the hills, so instead we rescheduled and had a ride a week later around the entire Syfydrin Trail at Nant yr Arian. There was a good turn out too, with 13 riders, including the regulars such as myself,...
I know there are loads of iPad reviews out there, but people still keep asking me what I think of it, so now that I’ve had it for a week or so, here are my thoughts so far. Look and Feel First up, there’s no denying that it is a beautiful thing. Apple certainly build...
Just a short video clip from our trip to see Santa on the Talyllyn Railway Santa Special.
Sorry for the lack of updates here recently, but we have an excuse. I’d like to say that we decided to go offline for Xmas as a matter of choice as it would be nice now and then to ‘get away from it all’ and have no contact with the outside world. However, that wasn’t...
It’s certainly been cold again and we broke an all time record (since my records from the Borth weather station began in 2005) again this week with a minimum temperature of minus 9.1°C and what’s more, the average temperature this week has been minus 3.5°C. Mighty cold for anywhere but especially for here on the...
Just got back from a surf session – Yep, it was cold! The waves were really nice though so it had to be done. I’d like to say that it was lovely out there and once I was in the water it wasn’t that cold, but that would be lying. My hands were in agony...
