An Ynyslas Sunset
We get loads of gorgeous Ynyslas Sunsets here but I rarely post photos of them, so here are a few from tonight to make amends.

Jaffa-Caching and the Signs of Spring
Well, that’s the first day of the Half Term off to a good start. My parents left after their weekend visit at around 10am, so Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his remote control monster truck. It was cold, windy and deserted on the beach, but the skies were blue, the sun...
Whatever Next?
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...
New Record Wind Gust for Borth and Ynyslas
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...
Coping with the Severe Weather in Wales
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...

Is that the Spring that I See?
I don’t think anyone would deny that we’ve had a fairly awful winter so far this year. It hasn’t been cold yet, but it’s just been wet, windy and miserable. There does seem to be hope on the horizon though. There’s a brief respite in the stormy weather today, the wind has gone and it isn’t raining at...
Ynyslas Lake
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...
Checking on the Bees
After the recent storms and flood damage everywhere, we’ve been wondering how our bees have been faring. It has been a funny ‘winter’ so far as it has just been really mild and really wet. The bottom of the garden, where our beehives are is still waterlogged and flooded, but with wellies on I can...
