    We’re away in another city for a long weekend break, and it wasn’t our idea. Jack wanted to go and visit a friend in another country, so we went too, and Kim has always wanted to see the architecture of this particular city. There are usually a couple of geocaches in cities too.

    There’s a storm coming. We climbed at Crab Rock this week, which was a new spot for us on the Gower that we’ve been meaning to explore but can be a pain to find and get to. Our buddy, Ben, guided us down. The tide was coming in so we perched on a ledge like…

    The holidays are over and it’s time to get back to teaching anatomy and embryology, and the daily routine. Yey? Here’s a bit of a “day in the life” of my first day back to work.

    Walking the huge beaches at Rhossili and Llangennith after a fun week of mountain biking, golf, rock climbing, metal detecting, running and all the things we do if we’re given time to do them. The wild ponies are out and about.

    It’s Christmas Day. Oh what have I done? I’ve bought Kim a metal detector. A gift that may mean she roams the beaches of the earth until the end of times. As long as she’s happy.

    There’s a gap in between the storms so we’re getting outside to try and get on some dry rock. It’s a familiar struggle at this time of year. To the beach!
