Dawn Chorus in the Dunes That was a good bank holiday. My usual early start but for a change I didn’t get up immediately but lay in bed listening to the dawn chorus. The blackbirds and sparrows were in good voice and they were soon joined by Skylark too. I’m sure there were robins and plenty...

Those of you who knew me a few years ago won’t quite believe this, but it has been ages (literally months) since I’ve been windsurfing. So long in fact that I don’t want to look it up to see how long ago it was! This may not seem unusual to some people, but considering the...

The delivery was originally scheduled for last Wednesday, but as Tuesday was the first day I could be in to sign...
We’d been chomping at the bit to get out in our new self-built canoe, that (for obvious reasons) we had christened ‘Fingers Crossed’ Since getting it home I;d given it a few more coats of varnish and it was now ready to go. The weather was set fair yesterday so a plan was made for...
Well, the forecast was correct. After what was a lovely day on Good Friday, Saturday was a washout, a very windy washout as well. I still wasn’t feeling like a triathlete, but decided that I should probably go for a run or at least a walk up a hill. Anna and Morgan wanted to go...
I’ve just noticed that as my phone died during my run in the Ceredigion Hills on Saturday, it did manage to take one last photo. So here it is, my view looking SW over the Ceredigion Hills from the summit of Moel y Llyn. Ceredigion Hills
Anna was working on Saturday as it was an Open Day at the University, so that mean that for the third week in a row I was unable to continue with my Coast Path Run project. Someone had to be at home to look after Morgan, but we did decide that it would be OK...
It was a little difficult to fit my usual weekend activities in this weekend but we managed it. Friday was a manic day thanks to the Eisteddfod that Morgan was playing in. Saturday was just as frantic as it was Morgan’s laser tag birthday party. Jay, Charlie and Jack were visiting for the weekend too....
