Looking towards the Cleddau Bridge at Neyland (the bridge makes a great run) |
If there is a downside to living in a house with sea views, it’s that it’s easy to sit indoors and take root. Especially when it’s damp and cold. But you have to feel the world not just watch it go by, so we try to make a point of going out once a week just to do something different.
The sunshine’s been so lovely this week that it’s looked like summer, despite the bitingly-cold wind. We decided to treat ourselves to a takeaway of sausage and chips (we know how to live) at Neyland, on the River Cleddau, then walk along the coast from the beach at Whitesands to the rocky headland of St David’s Head. I really like coastal path walking; I like being on the edge of the land and this particular walk isn’t too long but undulates just enough to feel as if you’ve put in a bit of effort.

On the topic of technology, thank you very much for your comment over at my place. (I also tend to have chilly fingertips....)

When I was a child I'd see a view or the photograph of an astonishing view and immediately start daydreaming about what could have happened there. If I was a writer, it'd be great, but alas, I'm only a reader!
And it is serendipitous that your camera took such a wonderful picture as it was falling, but felt well enough to go on. My phone has suffered many a similar event and yet it too keeps working well, but with some physical injuries.
Glad the camera's still working. I love my camera but they've brought out a better model that I'm currently lusting after so I may just go and drop mine over a cliff... ;)
I'm glad the camera survived, almost intact.
Certainly was a day to remember, Sarah!
Frances, thank you and I hope you've found the answer to your question and a satisfactory replacement for your old laptop.
Fennie, thank you. I must admit I never thought it would work again - but it does, phew!
Linda, - it sometimes feels as though we do. Thanks for dropping by.
Thank you, Mandy - fellow GC!!
Chanpreet, I think the two go together - like so many writers, it was my love of reading that made want to write, so... And thanks for your kind comment.
Fortunately, Shirley, I don't have camera lust! I hopeless with anything other than a simple 'point and shoot' which was why I was so distressed seeing mine bounce from rock to rock! You could try it, but they seem to be more robust than they look! I'm glad you enjoyed the views.
Sherry, thank you for dropping by and for your kind comment.
Noelene, hi and welcome. Hot and dry sounds lovely just now after so much rain here, but I know that the temperatures there have been extreme and difficult to cope with. We are very lucky here to have so many lovely beaches on our doorstep and it's good to ring the changes and revisit walks we haven't done for a while to remind ourselves of that.
Sheepish - we've got the lovely beach and most of the time it's so quiet it could be ours alone... but it could certainly do with being a bit warmer!
Flowerpot - it was great actually, although I was defeated by a mountain of chips!
Debs, I've enjoyed the wonderful views from your part of the world on your blog too. It's a lovely way to see the world from your desk.
