Camping Trip to Three Cliffs

We've talked about going on a camping trip alot, muse and I.   We've each been dozens of times individually but never together, so we bought a tent and picked a campsite, packed up our gear and Holly and went, here are a few photos of our trip.

This is the view that greeted us as we were shown our pitch, probably the best view from a tent I have had!

View of the campsite itself.

Time to set up.

Holly stood guard (although, how much defence she would put up, if someone took a fancy to any of our gear is debatable).

Once set up and and all our gear installed inside the tent, time to make a cuppa.

And have a Welshcake or three, these  fuelled our camping trip, good job I made plenty because they are moorish.

Here's one of Holly, just because she looks cute.  It was her first time camping she was brilliant!

We had an unexpected visitor, he also turned up early in the morning - very noisy too! 

Lots of flora and fauna too.

And something I have never seen before, cows on the beach!  They were quite a distance from where I stood to take this picture, but they really are cows - grazing.

Evening fell.

The trip to Rhosilli started off quite grey and damp. 

We didn't walk all the way out to the worm's head as the wind was blowing and it really was quite cold.  

As we walked back into the village, the weather brightened up and the sun came out. Either way the weather would not have stopped us from having a Joe's ice cream. (Too busy eating ice cream to take pictures.)

Saturday Walk

Muse and I are attempting to make a good long walk a regular thing, Saturdays are by far the best day, for obvious reasons.  Yesterday, we (Holly too) walked nearly 4 and 1/2 miles.  We took the lanes from the Village to Pentwynmawr.  The day was gloomy but the rain stayed away whilst we were out.

Of course, the upside of so much rain is the lush greenery we saw everywhere, the hedgerows are full of wild roses this year and look so pretty illuminating the dark green foliage of the hedges.

Things That Made Me Go Oooooo

So ... I made my ritual virtual trip to the Graham & Green site today, mainly to drool and mentally plop objects from this site into my home, here is a random selection of things that made me go Oooo ...

The Walk

Egg Whites

Just a quick post to show you how I used the remaining egg whites, left from the Creme Patissiere I made for the Strawberry Tarts.

Meringues, so easy to make and yummy.
