A lovely walk at Oxwich Bay


We met up with our son Danny on Saturday - it looked like we would be confined to barracks for a while due to my health issues.  The sun shone a little, people were well spread out, and we enjoyed some sea air.


Danny, sans beard.  We are so used to him with one!


Tam and Keith.  Sadly Gabby has been on secondment managing her company's outlet in Bristol so couldn't be with us.  She's had a miserable time down there as the hotel she's staying at has shut their restaurant, so no hot meal to come back to - last night it was a packet of Sandwiches from Sainsburys.


Looking along the coast.


Last year there was a landslip.  People have been told to keep away as it's still very unstable and there are rocks the size of houses over there . . .


Behind the main range of sand dunes are little ponds.


Penrice Castle and the abandoned remains of its earlier incarnation behind it.  Oxwich Bay is part of the Penrice Estate.



Keith, a windswept me, and Tam.

Back tomorrow with church and churchyard photos.

    1. Sea air is always sustaining. Don't know when we will get to the seaside next though.

  5. We stayed at the Oxwich Bay hotel a couple of years ago. A very dog-friendly place. So friendly that they allow them in the restaurant. What with that and a (human) turd in the en suite toilet bowl of our room means we will not be returning!

  6. Good grief Tom - not good on either score. We perused the menu for the restaurant and concluded we wouldn't ever be eating out there! At £12 for a starter or a dessert, and a good bit more for a main! Plus nothing there my fussy boots husband would call "food"!!!

  7. Thanks for posting those photographs; I love being able to put faces to blogs. It must have been nice having almost the whole family together - hopefully you will see your other daughter before too long.
