Welcome to the new and improved version of the Mountain Lifestyle Blog! After nine years of ‘Blogger’ based blogging, it’s time to upgrade to a slicker and more user friendly platform. Clare has been busy working behind the scenes sorting out the ‘tech’ (not my top strength!) and things are starting to move across to the new website as of now…

This September has been the warmest, busiest and best that I can remember, with temperatures settled in the mid 20°C for the last two weeks. Days have been full, long and enjoyably exhausting. Early starts and late nights have become the norm to max out on the unusual Welsh conditions.

I’ve been on Paddleboards during the last few days on the sea and the lake and fitted in surfs and swims until sunset each night!

This evening, after a day on the water, we dived into our local swimming hole to refresh for the evening.

All was calm and the reflections wonderful..

As I’m going to be away from home for my official birthday, this evening was designated as my celebration evening!

So a celebration to life, birthdays and the future blog adventures was had! May it be full of many more adventures awesome photos.
