WHEN I NEXT HAVE A GOOD IDEA, SHOOT ME

We had to go to a 40th party near Monmouth. I had this good idea. "Why don't we spend a few days on the Gower peninsula?"
"Where's that?" she said.
"No idea but it sounds good"
"Good idea" she said. She needed a gun.

The Gower peninsula is quite nice if you are walkers, many routes to follow. We are not walkers.
The Gower peninsula is nice for children, with lovely beaches at the foot of cliffs. We are not children. We cannot climb down cliffs either.

"Why don't we go to Tenby to-morrow, it looks nice from Google images?"

Google images lie. Tenby is a walled town for pedestrians only. Everyone in South Wales was there that day. We cannot walk....etc

Dire, the whole thing. Plus I got this stinking cold.....now Gillian has got it.....

CELEBRATE THIS LOVELY WONDERFUL SUMMER WE HAVE JUST HAD. AND THANK OUR LOVELY NEIGHBOURS FOR PUTTING UP WITH US ON SUNDAY EVENINGS.

OPEN HOUSE TIME FOR THE WORKSHOP FAMILIES AT CREEK END.
