There was lots of wind forecast though so Steve was coming to the coast for the...

We did drive into Borth and have a little stroll through the village to Libanus where we had Sunday lunch though. Very nice it was too. We then strolled back and chilled at home. Not...

It was another scorcher too, the 7th day in a row that temperatures recorded by our Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station exceeded 30ºC, surely that must be some sort of a record. After seeing Morgan off to school...
