A decent sunset has been sorely lacking from this blog in recent times, an omission which I was more than happy to correct on Thursday. After a hectic week we treated ourselves to fish and chips before moving on to Cefn Bryn to watch the sun sink and absorb our Read more…
We were a little pushed for time again yesterday evening but managed to squeeze in a walk along Llanelli foreshore. Conditions were positively balmy with a light sea breeze keeping temperatures just so and allowing us to rack up another couple of miles for our #walk1000miles challenge. Whilst we’re on Read more…
The last three days here have varied quite spectacularly in their weather. From torrential rain overnight on Saturday we have moved rapidly across to clear blue skies and short threatening heat, just in time for the working week of course. Somewhere in the middle came a humid, grey, shower interrupted Read more…
We had grand plans for today but thanks to another washout they’ve had to be postponed. Will that stop us from continuing with our #30DaysWild challenge then? Not a bit of it. Despite torrential rain Emma valiantly headed out earlier this morning to top up our bird feeders which have Read more…
A late start today thanks in no small part to last night’s electoral events which had a terrible sense of deja vu about them. First came the shock exit poll, then a steady stream of naysayers all confident that the pollsters had got it wrong until, in the bleak early Read more…

I think the less said about Monday’s weather the better, don’t you? Like many of my fellow participants in #30DaysWild we found ourselves faced with a day of near continuous, heavy rainfall. What’s more we were still in Leeds which meant we had a six hour drive ahead of us Read more…
Sunday was our first real opportunity to do something properly big for #30DaysWild and it doesn’t get much bigger than 250,000 seabirds on some massive chalk cliffs. And where would we find such a spectacle? At Bempton of course. It had been years since my last visit to one of Read more…
Day three of #30DaysWild found us in Leeds for a wedding. A change of location then but definitely no change in our attempt at doing something wild every single day in June. With time limited (something about needing to put on a suit and polish my shoes apparently) we decided Read more…
