Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
What better way to start the day than a hill-reps induced endorphin rush! A 50 minute hilly run was on the training plan and seeing as it is a 20 minute run to the nearest hills I usually drive to the foot of them and run from Borth. My car is in the garage being...
This glorious weather that we are having makes such a difference. Everyone seems happier and this part of Wales is seen in its best light. It’s just a shame we all have to work and go to school. So, in order to make the most of it I was up early yesterday so that I...
Hooray, I finally managed to get out on the water windsurfing over the weekend. Usually its just the lack of wind that prevents me from windsurfing but lately with big races such as the European Triathlon Championships looming it has been a combination of lack of wind, lack of time and the fear of injury that has kept...
It still isn’t warm here but temperatures have at least made it into double figures for the past few days. It got to 12°C here yesterday and pretty much stayed that way all night as well with a minimum temperature of 10.1°C. Combined with misty, murky conditions, the relatively warm temperatures seemed ideal for moths so...

Shhh, don’t tell anyone but it hasn’t rained here for a while. In fact, I’ve just looked it up in the historic data section of the Borth and Ynyslas weather station that I run and it says that the last time it rained was on Valentines Day – That’s two whole weeks. The good news is that...
I really need to get out into the garden and start some Spring clearing; Dead wood needs cutting back, the shrubs and hedges all need a trim, moss, grass and weeds need removing from the flower beds, the water feature needs a clean and service, the beds and borders could do with a fork and...
Ynyslas last week 22nd Jan 2013 – Sub-zero temperatures, grey skies and snow drifts – Great fun, we love the snow. Ynyslas this week 31st Jan 2013 – 10°C, blue skies, blowing a hoolie and wild waves – Great fun, we love the wind and sun! I wonder what next week will have in store...
