A Promise is a Promise

Just 2 weeks left to complete my zine celebrating 50 years of Guy N Smith's novels. It will be done, even if I only have half a screen left to work on.

Copper Jack/ Birthday Boy

 Started 59th year (yes it my 58th birthday) by taking a trip down the Tawe river on the Copper Jack. It was an excellent 90 minute cruise, complete with a full audio narration. I recommend it highly. 










For more pics from the cruise, check out Sweyne's Eye.

We then had luncheon in The Red Lion pub before heading back to our temporary house for a chilled evening with little fudjcakes:
