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...

2026 Headers

 

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:

The Door

This poor door is reaching the end of life. But, even thpugh it does not close properly and is starting to decay, I will miss it when it is gone. :(
