Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I didn’t manage to get any good photos of the fire on Borth Bog this morning as I didn’t have much time to do so, but here are a few that I did manage to snap. There are some here from other residents too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-26185361
We’ve had massive floods, huge waves, tidal surges, evacuations, hurricane force winds and power cuts, you’d think that would be enough now, but it seems not. Borth is now on fire!!! It looks as though the bog is burning and no ones knows why. Quite how that can even happen considering how wet it is...
The forecast was correct and we did indeed beat our previous record wind gust here on Wednesday. The forecasting site that I use and that has always been the most accurate for me is WindGuru and it was forecasting that the wind would start really building at 1:30pm on Wednesday and peak at a maximum at...
Well, that was exciting. I’m sorry for the lack of updates on the severe weather warning post on Wednesday evening, but not long after my post about the troubles Anna was having getting to the school to collect Morgan the power went off so I had no way of updating things online. I had just...
Morgan and I have just got back from a nice little photo walk along the beach. Nothing too exciting, just a little stroll to see how it was looking today. I’ll save the better photos for another post, but as per usual it was fairly breezy over there which just helped to highlight how much...
What a difference a week makes. This time last week we had just returned to our house having spent the night at a friends after being evacuated due to severe storms. Today has been as still as you like with plenty of winter sunshine, so we made the most of it by having a little...
We went for a walk along the beach last night with the Scouts and I’d say that the new sea defences in Borth have almost certainly helped protect Borth from the recent storms. Some of the large boulders within the defences have moved slightly. The pebble banks that were extended and built up as part...
I’ve posted plenty here about the storm damage in Ynyslas and the storm damage in Aberystwyth. However, as the road from here to Borth remains closed we haven’t really had much chance to get into Borth, other then once when I ran through Borth without a camera. So, here’s a little YouTube slide-show of some...
The recent storms have led to extensive damage all along the coastline of Mid Wales. Aberystwyth has probably been hardest hit with the Victorian Promenade being all but destroyed. There are countless photos all over the web and on news bulletins of the damage both during and after the storms hit, so I’m sure you’ve seen...
We experienced the strongest wind gust here yesterday at Borth and Ynyslas since I began recording the weather in 2005. The wind peaked just after dark at 16:29, hitting 62.6 knots (that’s just over 72mph) recorded by the Borth & Ynyslas weather station. I think we may have lost all of our garden furniture, dustbins...
