Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Grrr… I’ve got some kind of lurgy. Headache, sore throat and generally feeling ‘bleurgh.’ Not ideal for an upcoming first attempt at a Half ironman distance race, but there’s little I can do about that. I have therefore ceased what little training I was doing to see if I can kick it. It didn’t stop me...
After an early 4am start on Saturday for my Coast Path run from Maltraeth to Holy Island, I had an even earlier start on Sunday for a Pembrokeshire Cycle. I was up at 3:30am (early even by my standards) so that I could get ready and leave the house by 4:30am This meant I could arrive...

We had fun on Friday evening surfing with the Scout thanks to Kwame at Walkin’ on Water. It was a nice relaxed Scout session for us. Anna was on the beach watching and I got to play in the surf. Larry was helping out as well. It wasn’t the best surf conditions with a small,...
As a follow up to my post about the Bombs at Ynyslas the other day, I thought I’d post a photo of what the bomb disposal team found this time. As I said in my previous post, bombs are often discovered on the beach or in the dunes at Ynyslas, but this time they were found...
Well, Sunday was a fairly dark, dreary and very wet day. Not much of a day really, but it was brightened by an orchid walk in the dunes. Led by Juliet Regan who we already knew from Beekeeping it was an interesting introduction to the world of orchids. There was quite a good turn out considering...

Summer continues and Friday brought with it not only more wall-to-wall sunshine and temperatures in the high teens but also some summer surf. So, after a short session on the turbo trainer and lots and lots of household chores we (Morgan and I) headed over to the beach form a summertime surf. We were due...
