Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Walking in the rain in Snowdonia is one thing, but the conditions yesterday were ridiculous! It was my birthday on Friday so rather than just go out for drinks or a meal, or as we usually do just stay at home and do nothing, I came up with the idea of getting a few friends together...
Despite feeling fairly ill this morning and the fact that once again early on a Sunday morning it was pouring with rain and blowing a gale, I decided to ‘Man Up’ and go for my planned bike ride anyway. My reasoning was that I was up and out of bed, but I was feeling ill. However,...
After a slightly extended summer that seemed to last until November, we been having some decidedly autumnal weather over the past few days. The whole of the country and West Wales in particular has taken quite a battering from first Storm Abigail and then Storm Barney. My bike ride on Sunday morning was notable due to it’s wet...

It looks as though pollution has made it to Aberystwyth. It was fine yesterday but it’s looking pretty murky out there today. It could just be a sea mist of course but we were expecting the smog caused by pollution that has been affecting other parts of the country to make it to West Wales...
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...
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...
