Just a few more photos of the recent storm damage at Ynyslas, this time from a document circulated to the flood wardens. 1. Swathes of rubbish left stranded Many Ynyslas residents are willing to help clear this up. Photo by Lucy Napier Adams 2. Dune Erosion Erosion of approximately 6-8′ of sand dune.

Morgan and I popped down to the seafront in Aberystwyth yesterday to take a look at the storm damage. There were loads of other people having a look, and plenty of officials in hi-viz jackets assessing the damage too. Aberystwyth prom is still completely covered with sand and shingle which is mixed in with blocks...
The recent storms have led to extensive damage all along the coastline of Mid Wales. Aberystwyth has probably been hardest hit with the Victorian Promenade being all but destroyed. There are countless photos all over the web and on news bulletins of the damage both during and after the storms hit, so I’m sure you’ve seen...
I think we may have had a lucky escape with the bees this morning. It’s been blowing a hoolie here all day, after starting to do so last night. I took a quick look at the hives this morning and all looked OK, although it was dawn so the light wasn’t great and I was only...
We experienced the strongest wind gust here yesterday at Borth and Ynyslas since I began recording the weather in 2005. The wind peaked just after dark at 16:29, hitting 62.6 knots (that’s just over 72mph) recorded by the Borth & Ynyslas weather station. I think we may have lost all of our garden furniture, dustbins...
We’ve decided that the Scouts should try to get their Bronze Dragon Award Badge. In order to do so, they need to camp outside under canvas in every month of the year. It can be done over the course of a few years, but it does mean sleeping under canvas in the winter months. The...
A very unusual day for me – the only time I ventured outside was topless for a few seconds in order to do some semi-naked star-jumps on the deck in an almighty squall! With the weather in West Wales putting on a display in was most certainly an indoor day. We therefore spent the day...
We put the moth trap out last night and then had a nice surprise as there were fireworks at the caravan park so we stood in the garden watching the fireworks whilst moths flew around the trap and bats swooped by to eat them. It was a lovely evening out there, if a little chilly now, although temperatures...
And so the summer continues. As usual Tuesday was a busy day with lots of running around and things to do but the highlight was a gorgeous open water swim in Aberystwyth followed by dinner on the prom watching the sunset and listening to Anna playing in the band. The temperature didn’t quite make it...
