Weekend In Wales
Saturday 14th March 2015

Nice morning. Nice big semi-healthy breakfast again before the nice ladies from the Social Services come round to get Dad out of his bed and,using some amazing hoist contraption, into a wheelchair. Kathy arrived with her friend's 'popemobile' and we got the ramps out, maneouvered the wheelchair into it, and set off for Langland Bay.

Lovely day for the beach and we had a nice latte with toasted coconut bread looking out at the sea and chatting with cousin Gareth's father-in-law and an old friend from the Golf Club. After an hour it was time to head back to Bish, stopping off in Newton to get the paper.

Newton 'high street'

   Then back home to spend all afternoon and evening watching the rugby, followed by some nice quiche and salad for tea. Tidy.

 Out at 9:30 to pick Griff up and visit Jez for a couple of hours of 70's rock and Match Of The Day. Started with a classic Man 'Rockpalast' performance on DVD (Micky/Deke/Martin/Terry line-up) and going through Jez's collection of original vinyl.

 

 

Watched the football, then finished the sesh with some Necromandus-like heavy prog from Captain Beyond. Back to Bish across a deserted Clyne Common again. Spooky, but nicely familiar.
