Cruising on board the P&O Iona.

I’ll be sailing off into the sunset soon on Bluesky, and will in future post only very occasionally.

Hiya.

The Belmont, or Limerick, Arch, Tenby Town Walls.

Imagine having the whole of the sea to yourselves….

- Tenby

Sssshh… Cresswell Street - Tenby’s quietest street….

Tenby is as purdy as a picture at times.

I’ve gone for a 🇩🇰
Brød, Pontcanna

50 years ago today, Glamorgan Cricket asked me to do just a few hours work for them, and I’ve sort of stuck around since.

I’ve always been extremely grateful to Glamorgan for giving me that opportunity which led to many others elsewhere and loads of friendships.

Looking on…. Glamorgan cricket coaches look on as their team plays Gloucestershire at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

Hitchcockeque scenes at Glamorgan cricket yesterday as gulls continued their merciless vendetta against flying ants by invading the outfield to eat them.

An early start for the autograph hunters at Glamorgan Cricket

Sergeant’s Lane, Tenby

My fab new, lower price, home insurance policy from confused dot com includes a free cup of coffee each month at Greggs. I’m shameless…

Chapter Arts Centre now has a breast, chest and bottle-feeding chair.

This bee station in the middle of Sophia Gardens, Cardiff has me buzzing.

It’s the dog’s knees.

Word reaches us in Tenby that some parts of Wales are now using digital clocks. We’re content to watch time go by simply using Robert Raschke’s timepiece in Sergeant’s Lane.

Tenby’s quirkiest and friendliest shop - Cofion - which houses as many books as the Bodleian Library, but in just 0.005% of the space. A must-visit.

Of all the cafes I visit in Cardiff and Penarth, I think this is my fave in terms of surroundings - upstairs in Brød, Penarth.
And the coffee is good, too!

A new cafe in the Royal Arcade, Cardiff - Square + Fair. Good vibe, very ambitious, surprised to have a paper cup inside a cafe nowadays. Good luck to them!

Finally under the Second Severn Crossing, a quick cuppa and then the MV Waverley returns to Penarth. A Grand Day Out.

On board the MV Waverley; berthing at Portishead, and off to the Severn Bridges.

The MV Waverley docking at the splendid Clevedon Pier, across the Bristol Channel from Penarth.

My ship is coming in. The MV Waverley - the last passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world - about to dock at Penarth Pier to take us all on an adventure.

Time to leave the Norwegian fjords.

No. We just mooched around town…

And finally to Haugesund, Norway. 🇳🇴

A morning on the Flåm Railway, Norway

Olden village, Norway

Still snow on the mountains around Olden, Norway. Ha ein fin dag!
