Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Well, that was an unexpected surprise. I thought we did well on the pudding front last weekend with a huge carvery followed by 7 full size puddings and a slice of chocolate birthday cake, but that has been exceeded today! I had an early breakfast and then went for a run and a swim followed...
Half term here again already, so after making camp chairs in the morning Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his kite and the GoPro. Last time we tried this it started pouring with rain. This time it was much better, the wind was better and there were even a few small patches...
Well, that didn’t quite go to plan. The idea was to head over to the beach to make the most of the sunshine, get the kites out, fly them for a bit and then mess around trying to attach my GoPro to them to do some aerial photography. Morgan and I headed over with all...
The sun was shining, Morgan was off school and I’d promised him we would get the canoe out and go to the beach. So, after a meeting in the morning that is exactly what we did. Slip, Slap Slop and we were ready to do battle with the sun and the waves. Our inflatable canoe that...
With the sun shining and lots going on in Borth, we had a lovely weekend. We spent quite a bit of time in the garden, we popped into Borth for the crowning of the Carnival Queen and for Morgan to collect a commemorative mug. The mug was to commemorate the Diamond Jubliee and there was...
It’s been a while, but I finally got out windsurfing again today. Last time I was out was March 7th which for me is ages. In fact I’d have to say that it is easily the longest I’ve gone without windsurfing for the past 10 years. Would I remember how to do it? It wasn’t...
Wednesday morning was just made for running. No wind, 10°C when I set out, warming to over 15°C by the time I got back with clear skies and some lovely sunshine. I was supposed to do a 70 minute hilly run going faster up and over the hills and that’s exactly what I did. Not...
Just an update on the floods in Borth. The sun is now shining and at this end of the village it is now a lovely day. If you drive along the main road through Borth you wouldn’t even know it had been raining, but rain it has. The Borth Weather Station recorded 42.2mm of rain...
I had a slightly more interesting run than usual this morning. On the way into Borth there seemed to be an unusual amount of emergency service activity and then when I go to the caravan site that I normally run through it was 6 foot underwater. There were coast guards, the RNLI, ambulances, Fire Brigade...
After a week or so of glorious weather, sun tans, shorts and busy bee-keeping, a sudden plunge back into temperatures below freezing, icy winds and snow on the hills just in time for the school holidays was a bit of a shock. Needless to say, this coupled with the fact that I was ill meant...
