Catching up - again!

Hello again! So long since I posted!
I've just returned from Texas and am still a little jet lagged so bear with me if this is not very coherent!

I'll continue the walk blog after this "catch up" post...

Sunrise at Caswell


After I got back from Cornwall I had a couple of trips to Caswell where there were stormy seas, pebble beach surprises and beautiful sunrises.

Pwll Du - a huge pebble bank

This beach is a couple of miles from Caswell, and I always enjoy a walk there. On my final morning of the first of my two visits, I walked around the coast to find that the storms and heavy rain had breached this huge pebble bank. Usually there is a little lake behind the beach, but with the storm, it had overflowed and cut its wasy through the bank. I was amazed and fascinated. I watched for ages as the stream cut its way back into the bank, wishing I could stay to see it cut off its meander!

On my second visit two weeks later, part of the new stream was still there, but the bank was back in place and the water disappeared into it and reappeared sea-side.

Keith was away in Madrid (work) and Cyprus (holiday) so I got busy back home. I replaced the glass in the garage window and door - a job that's been waiting to be done for about 2 years! I also insulated the loft with massive rolls of 'space blanket' and boarded part of it.

We had a lovely Christmas with the family all back from uni, and Meriel coming to stay; we had freezing weather, played lots of games,Sevens

ate lots of lovely food and shared lots of fun.

After this happy time, I packed my bags and flew off for more adventures to sunny(?) Texas. Well, it was sunny, but more of that in next post. I was off to visit the wonderful little family that is Jo, Jac and Marty.

Here I enjoyed cuddles, dribbles, lovely walks and fabulous food. I met fantastic friends and colleagues, and all in all had a wonderful time. More of this special time in the next post...
