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...
I used to be OK at running. I was never good and when I say ‘used to’ I mean about 20 years ago, but as part of my new fitness drive I’ve been trying to get out for the odd run here and there. I don’t like to do too much as my joints, tendons...

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...
Sometimes the familiar just catches your eye. I see these things everyday of my life and something about the contrasting reds and greens always catches my eye. I can never do them justice in a photograph – probably a failing on my part rather than that of the subject. They probably only appeal to me...
