Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Autumn is here with a vengeance and Saturday looked set to be another windy day. The third in a row that I had chance to windsurf and with it being a weekend there would be plenty of other people out on the water as well. I’d arranged with Steve to meet at around 10:30 so...
Friday was apretty windy one with winds in the 30-40 knot range for much of the day. Perfect for me as a windsurfer, so after a 5am start and sveral hours work I had a lovely session on the seafront. I’m glad I didn’t wait for Snoozer to turn up on the beach as the...
It was a lovely day on Saturday so after doing some gardening and digging out bags and bags of compost from the compost bins we decided to head over for a family walk along the beach. However, as we walked through the groynes I was greeted by perfect peeling surf and some pretty decent sized...
A little late we know, but we Dave and Sarah hosted the Ynyslas Bonfire Party last night and everyone had fun. A nice big bonfire, plenty of fireworks, loads of food and lots of friendly locals to chat too. Another late night for Morgan following an even later night at the Aberystwyth and District Beekeepers...
As I’ve been ill and unable to get out doing anything strenuous, I’ve been forced to go out and take some photos again. Nothing too exciting, just a wander on the beach as per usual.
Autumn is here for sure this time and that of course means plenty of wind and some good windsurfing conditions. Sunday was always supposed to be good by the afternoon, so after and early morning start at 5am to watch the Grand Prix and then a swim in Machynlleth followed by a bacon sandwich it...
I remember a song from my days at Sunday School about the ‘Foolish Man’ who built his house upon the sand. It went on to say that ‘when the rains came down’ his house didn’t stand firm. I did wonder about this in 2003 when we started building our house here, on the sand at...
The wind arrived as forecast on Wednesday, continuing what has so far been a very autumnal September. With blue skies and a decent 30-35 knot SW wind I’d normally sail on the seafront, but Graham is just getting back into windsurfing and I’ve been encouraging him to get out and the seafront would have been...
We’ve a busy weekend ahead of us so I have just got back from managing to squeeze in a quick windsurf session this morning before the tide got too high. It was just me and the gulls out there with a stiff 20-30 knot Westerly wind blowing, some decent waves and very choppy conditions. If...
Summer didn’t hang around long this year! September arrived and so did Autumn, and with it came the winds. Last week was windy everyday, 30-40 knots all day everyday in fact, so I obviously went windsurfing a few times and blew away some cobwebs.The weekend was set to be a good one too with wind...
