Just returned from a lovely few days walking the Gower. Stayed with the
lovely Patsy and her equally lovely dog Oakey in their cosy cottage in Port
Enyon just round from Rhoselli Beach.
This year, the Gower Peninsula celebrates 63 years since becoming the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1956. Covering 188 sq km, it was awarded its AONB status for its classic coastline.
On one hilarious walk, on the hills between Scurladge and Pilton, we hiked knee deep in bracken and heather

through the
mist
guided by the ponies
we made it
to the trig point in the end
An earlier
walk took us over the coastal path, via the old Salt House at Port Enyon, and
back through the village.
It was also a celebratory weekend. Patsy’s birthday on the Tuesday, celebrated first on the beach near Rhoselli with friends, dogs, bubbles and giant waves. Up to the pub for refreshments then back with Kate, David and Harry to their holiday let for a chip supper n improvised karaoke.
The following
day was Julies big birthday it was her ?0th. After a strawberry
breakfast, and a Skype with Marion in Rwanda, another shorter beach walk to a
different pub.
On the way we
stopped to admire a cliff top view when this lovely man invited us into his
garden, with a terrace down to the sea, and regaled us with tales of his past
and the house/garden renovation.
