I took a stroll around Llanrhidian this afternoon and harvested a view images of the experience with you:
The remains of a Celtic Cross on the village green
Celtic Cross remains with Llanrhidian Church in background
Another, more ancient Standing Stone on the village green
Llanrhidian Church dates from Medieval times
The two embedded stones in the church gatepost are supposedly cursed and were once part of a more ancient graveyard located next to the caravan site where we're staying
This huge and mysterious slab of etched rock was dug in in the grounds of the graveyard
The interior of Llanrhidian Church
Llanrhidian's 2 pubs, the Welcome to Town and The Dolphin Inn
An incredible convoluted rock used in a wall of a Llanrhidian garden
The remains of Llanrhidian Mill
The previous night's storm is recorded in the village telegraph wires
This spot caught my eye - to the degree where I also took a short short video
A very short video, that is well worth watching to the end:
Weobley Castle
Sheep chilling beneath the Iron Iage Earth Fort ofCilifor Top
Another, more distant shot of Cilifor Top
Heading back to the caravan, I met another site cat, as well as seeing the more familiar black moggy:

Guy N Smith project 5/100. Just sown these babies with the mission of getting them to flower and to get some decent pics of them before the 100-day deadline hits.
I really enjoyed watching this TV series in the 1979s. And rewarding it on Network DVD a fews years back. I'm also enjoying this novelisation and quirky illustrations. It takes me back to simpler times. Magical nostalgia at its best.
It was another quiet day with just me and the pwscat. The writing for my GNS zine is going well, and ideas are unfolding fast.
I have also decided on the project that will replace the second edition of Avalon (postponed after May's visit to Glastonbury needed to be cancelled due to our housefire). More on this soon...
A really bad hayfever day, spent on my tod in the caravan as my wife returned to work this morning and my son has been working for a good couple of weeks now. I say on my tod, but I did have this little one's company. Though she was't too pleased with my constant sneeze and gave me a good old grumble everytime I sneezed.
As I will be publishing a previously unpublished short story by Guy N Smith in my tribute book to him, I designed a cover pic for the piece. The story concerns a dog who guides his owner through a treacherous swanp. I am quite pleased with the result:
Day 2 of my Guy N Smith 100-day-project. Working on the introduction of the Guy N Smith zine under the watchful eye of fudjcat.
Whilst staying at the caravan site, we doing our clothes washing in the landrette, the cycle lasting 30 minutes. With that in mind, we took a quick drive to the local pond on Cefn Bryn, Broadpool, catching the sunset there perfectly:
Returning to the campsite with a good 10 minutes to spare; we parked the car up outside the laundrette and crossed the road to photograph the sheep that were gathered near the roadside gate:
The sheep were very inquisitive and friendly and even allowed me to take a short video of them:
The Entrance to Llanrhidian Holiday Park
The evening light really has been kind to us since we have been staying in Llanrhidian, as as we left the laundrette with our washing, we were even rewarded with a huge rainbow over our caravan:
