What a Whopper!
I live my new Bolivian Torch cactus, despite the pain it inflicted on my fingers when I took it from the box it arrived in:
See Gower Gallery Shop
Been a hectic day. On top of a brain-draining workday, I also finalised more graphic art work for my See Gower gallery shop. All 3 of my See galleries go live on 1 March 🤞 but it a time-consuming process getting the artwork ready.
While the gallery shops will open with just x8 images capiece, I plan on offering a wide variety of merchandise fearing them. And, throughot 2026, I plan on adding a lot more to the shops. Watch this space. The first x8 images have now been finalised for the See Gower gallery shop::
Rhossili Bay
Rhossil Surfer
Hillend. Llangennith
Rhossili Cliffs
Rhossili Bay
Three Cliffs Bay
Penclawdd
Broad Pool Bay
For visitors familiar with my work, you might all these images have been are based on photographs I have taken. So. If there any of my photos you see here on Pixie-Led, See Gower, See Swansea or See Gallery, or any of their associated Socials, let me know and I will sse what I can do you.
Next up will be 7 more Glastonbury art work. But my head is throbbing now as I have been looking various close--up screens constantly for the last few days (except for sleep-timr). Gonna treat myself to a Ribena gin now before I head to bed.

Crabs
I have been scribbling again as the deadline for both my crabs horror story and Shell Island writeup is the end of the month.
Gallery Shops
My various See Gallery shops will be opening soon. They will be offering a range of art prints, photos, calendars and other image merchandise. So if you love Swansea, Gower or Glastonbury, watch this space as well as the online galleries involved:

Tired After Hours Planning
After a long day in the office, I foundcacquiet spot to catch up on some planning before heading home forcthe weekend. Looks like it us goung to be a tiring couple of monthscahead...

An Eagerness for Spring
Acheing for Winter to withdraw its devilish grasp, we ventured out to our first garden centre trip of the year. Having to do a work shift beforehand, and given the time of year, the sun was alreafy starting to set as we arrived.
Mrs P.L. had a Christmas voucher to launder and I had a crisp £20 note to swap for some gardening delights.
Luckily, there was a great sale on.
This meant, at long last, I was able to take on of these bad boy pots home with me:
Looking like the had been hauled from the decks of a sunken galleon, lost to the oceans centuries ago and now coated with colourful and rugged barnacles and coral, these have been beckoning me from this corner of my favourite garden centre for manyca year. With 50% off thecasking orice, I finally got to bring one of these 'maritime' gardening treasures home with me this evening, which makes me a very happy boy.
Given the sale, I even had enough cash left for these seeds and still come home with a spare pound coin in my pocket 🌿🍃.
I won't go into Mrs P.L.'s more wanton spending, except to say she is now the proud keeper of one this mother plant's speckled babies:

Goodbye Penguin
Finally got my hands on a copy of this;
While I already had the oversized Penguin edition, I can now offload that as it did not fit in with the other books published by Biblioasis.
I just need the following book to to keep my collection of Seth's A Ghoat Story for Christmas bang up to date. This was supposed to have been releases in time dor last Christmas but, apparently, Britain are not getting copies to sell for a short while yet:
Sunrise over Swansea
My first day working back at the office. Little good news there, but it was nice seeing the views available from the place:
Throwback by Guy N Smith
This is a cool addition to my prized Guy N Smith collection:
It is going to be a fascinating read going through all these hand-written exercise books of Guy's and how this first draft of Throwback compares to the published book...

See Sites
A little update into how 2026 is going. Whilst my day job is becoming something like a nightmare, my project work is coming along rather dandily.
I am devoting January to my websites. So far, I have been concentrating on See Swansea as I have to add last year's city photography on to the site before I open its doors to public viewing. I have added Oct-December 2025 to the site aleady this month, but still have Jan-September images to sort and upload.
See Gower is coming along nicely too, and is already public, albeit I still have a few link issues there, which I will attend to this weekend...
Finally, See Glastonbury is still needing a fair bit of work. I will announce when that is worth a visit, but is is not yet...
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:
