What could be better than a mellow little post-work SUP surf session? How about a SUP surf session with cetaceans. A couple of adult dolphins to keep me company. Nice!

Day two of 2016 and we had to get Morgan out of the house again, so we had some nice easy almost drive by geocaching in the hills planned. Not much walking involved today just a quick cache and dash before heading into Aberystwyth so that Morgan could spend some of his Christmas money on...
Once again we were having a ‘pre-weeked weekend away’ – We’re enjoying these, a couple of days away before the weekend and then a weekend to chill and get on top of chores at home. After a day at Bodnant Gardens, Conwy and Llandudno on Thursday we drove back along the A55 in the pouring rain...

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...
As per usual, the children go back to school and the weather is gorgeous. According to the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station it was the 2nd warmest day of the year, the warmest being back in May. Not only that but the surf was really good yesterday as well. It wasn’t huge but it was...
It was a gorgeous Bank Holiday Monday here. Clear blue skies saw the temperature drop to 4ºC over night but the sun was up early and it soon warmed up. With no wind at all it was a perfect day for the beach. My parents were still here along with my sister and her children...
