Mumbles

Did a nice long walk from the seafront car park infront of Singleton Hospital to Mumbles this evening, rewarding myself with a nice 4 scoop Joe's ice-cream along the way. Was a tad sad seeing the state of the Amusements building outside the ice-cream parlour. The Amusements have been a feature of Oystermouth for as long as I can remember and I will miss them, though I do have to admit I have only actually been in there once in the last 20 years. You can see what the building used to look like here.


Mumbles itself was bathed in a dreamy blue light and, even though the sun had now set, looked stunning.

I loved how the water changed the wheels of the bike in this pic

On the way back to the car, I called in to the West Cross Inn for a coffee...

The stained glass window set in the inner entracce door of The West Cross Inn
,,,which was served with the tiniest of welshcakes, which was well tasty:


The weather forecast is a bit grim for the next few days so I don't know when I will next update this blog sorry.
