Swansea Walk with Amb and Si

My first-born and her fiance, Si, are down for the weekend. On their first full day here, we sauntered down to the beach, taking in a few parks along the way.

What started as me trying to capture a beautifully peaceful scene, ended up in me capturing the brutal reality of life in the wild:

En route, we passed this great painted van - May the Force be With You! You can see more pics of the van here.

Where there's Smoke...

 The 🔥🔥 spreading round the UK during this heatwave appeared very nearer the office this morning. Here it is, from my office desk window:

Bar Riff

Tried out a new pub this evening. Really liked it in there too. I have read reviews that it is too woke, so it is right up our street. 🙂

Mayhill and The Woodman

This evening's steps count took in Mumbles and Mayhill.

A gorgeous vegan meal was enjoyed at The Woodman:

Penllergaer Woods

Had a lovely evening's walk down Penllergaer Woodscthis evening. How come I no-one told me how beautiful this place place is? And it's less than a 20 minute drive from my home!

We ended the walk with a gorgeous meal in the cafe outside the woods entrance.

Oystermouth Castle:

It was good to visit the castle again after so many years :) Afterwards. we head further into Oystermouth for a meal and some drinks. Disappointingly, our steps were cut short tonight as the meal took over an hour to arrive at our table :(
