Caswell

My last born is on a bit of a health kick at the moment, and so accompanied Mrs P.L. and myself for today' 5k step walk in one of Gower's premier beaches - Caswell Bay:

Heading back from the beach, we had ourselves a quick explore of the cave as I love the myriad colours of its internal walls:

After the beach, we took a wander through Caswell Woods, walk, which can be accessed from the rear of the beach car park. After a while, longer than I remembered (to my son's chagrin), we came to the wooden roundhouse. Sadly , this was in a sad state of disrepair, as the roof ad been badly damaged by fire:

Mrs P.L gave me a smart watch yesterday to encourage me to get out and about. One of it's numerous capabilities is to map out the wearer's walks. Here is ours for the day:

Christmas Tree Time

After picking up this year's Cheistmas tree, we lowered into a but of water and let it soak we headed down to Mumbles for a family cocktail:

Other sights encountered along the way included:

Returning home, it was the decorating time:

Precious baubles made by my first-born

And here it is is!

An Evening Stroll Around Oxwich

My daughter is down down for the next few days and fancied a trip to a Gower beach. And so we headed down to Oxwich Bay.

En route we passed these cool cows chilling on the roadside on Fairwood Common:

Stopped off en route so my first born's  fiance could take a peek at Three Cliffs Bay before cotinuing on to Oxwich:

Driving the tree-lined lane as it desends to the beach:

We were rewarded for iur visit with a very cool sky, but before that, here is yours truly:

And now for the clouds!

With the light fading fast, it was time for a quick visit to Gower's most atmospheric church:

It was then time for a little Chrismas cheer at the beautifully decocorated Oxwich Bay Hotel:

Our minds and bodies suitibly quenched, we headed our into the night  to make our way throgh the flooded street and  the stunningly-lit, by the first Winter full moon of 2025, back to our car.
