A bit of R and R

The break to my elbow could not have come at more inconvenient time, half term is always busy but we had planned an action packed break that included camping and water sports plus a few final fitness tests before the Gower Marathon. Instead we were lucky enough to get some R and R in New Quay at a friends caravan, and on arrival drinkies were served on the sun terrace. 

Before heading 

to the very busy beach 

for a swim, or in my case a flounder around in the water which was very therapeutic on the bruising. 

Borgi was a bit perplexed at the sudden change of scenery and gave it a disapproving look. 

Morning broke and a coffee and cookie session on the terrace under the watchful eye of Nessa

while the Borgi was incapacitated by a rogue sunbeam.

A walk around the harbour was in order

watching the dolphins from the harbour walls.

The compulsory trip to the RNLI shop where we bought Christmas cards that we will never send.

Lunch was a bit traditional.

Late afternoon saw a walk to the beach

which was just brilliant.

And another swim, obviously. 

The three amigos had a rock to perch on

todays colour chart. 

Not happy swimming.

Sunday morning fight club.

Perfect weather again

and another trip tot he beach

this time to the far end

and at lunch time the apprentice did the airiel assault course. 

Dinner was served 

and naturally no holiday is complete without a model kit being made

or some form of board game.

Monday morning the weather broke and before returning home 

the apprentice and I went for a walk and found these 

great woodland paths

and pictureskew bridge.

He's now as tall as me!

We had the beach pretty much to ourselves so despite the fact we had no kit 

we went for a swim

which brought new colours out. 

A quick tidy up and we left the caravan for the last time, during the weekend I showed a couple around who bought it!

A very tortuous journey home followed, road closed, diversion, ques at barbers but we made it in time to feed the critters and take the dogs for a walk. A great and relaxing weekend.
