Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Things are looking pretty good wind-wise for the end of the week with some strong Easterly winds forecast. Friday looks OK, Saturday looks pretty windy, 30 knots or so which could be much more in the estuary here at Ynyslas and Sunday looks completely mad at the moment. It could finally be time to get...
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...
September is only a week away but it looks as though autumn has arrived early. It was pretty windy yesterday and my windsurf session on the seafront did have an autumnal feel to it. The sun was shining but the sea felt as though it meant business. Although it was a nice easy sail there...
It was pretty windy last night. We’re used to the wind here and it is quite often windier than you can imagine but it’s been so long since we’ve had any proper wind that it actually kept us a wake last night. According to the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station it hit 46.9 knots which...
It looks as though summer is here, if only for the weekend. Yesterday was hot and sunny with a light NE breeze in the morning and then a NW seabreeze in the afternoon. Not quite enough wind for windsurfing – even with big kit – so I had a nice MTB ride around the Summit...
Things have been fairly quiet on the moth front recently. Numbers have been avergae but the same old species were showing up all the time. Last saw a change in the weather however, with much warmer overnight temperatures – the minimum was 11ºC, light winds and some rain. This led to some new species in...
It was very wet out there last night (14.6 mm of rain whilst the moth trap was out), windy at times too at around 20 knots but mild with a minimum temp of 6.6ºC. The moth trap was partly full of water, but there were a few moths in it. Clouded Drab x2 Early Grey...
December the 1st, the first day of winter and after what turned out to be a very windy autumn, the weather is right on cue with the first frost. The winds have eased here in Wales and we had a lovely clear night last night with a nice moon. The temperature dropped to -0.7ºC overnight...
What a weekend. Lots of DIY on Saturday for me so our new ensuite shower-room is just about finished. This meant I could reward myself with a windsurf session on Sunday. Simon and I had a pretty mad sail in the estuary. The weather station was recording gusts of 50 knots. It was just about...
