Big Scary Windsurf Session in Wales
I’ve just got back from an adrenalin packed windsurf session here in Wales. I posted a session log on Forces-of-Nature as usual, but as it was such a mad session thought I’d share it here as well. Woohoo, what a session. Went out with my big wave board and 4.5m sail and soon realised that...
Aberystwyth Fun Fair
There was finally a little break in the weather yesterday afternoon so we decided to go to the fair. (See here for Aberystwyth Fair opening times). We hadn’t made any definite plans so didn’t tell Morgan until we collected him from school and hadn’t made plans to meet anyone there either. However, as usual it...
50 knot winds in Wales
What a weekend. Lots of DIY on Saturday for me so our new ensuite shower-room is just about finished. This meant I could reward myself with a windsurf session on Sunday. Simon and I had a pretty mad sail in the estuary. The weather station was recording gusts of 50 knots. It was just about...

Brace Yourselves!
They say some silly things on the News sometimes and actually give very little information. First up they say there are 18 Flood warnings in place across Wales, but give no indication of where these are. Then they say that forecaters are expecting more rain in the next couple of days and people are being...
Wildlife Friendly Garden
As well as attracting lots of wildlife to your garden, a wildlife garden also gives you an excuse to be a bit lazy with the gardening from time to time! It isn’t just about bird boxes and ponds; just as important are areas of unkempt garden and piles of logs and sticks. We don’t have...
