A dip in the sea was just the thing today. Very bracing!

I’m sure it was lovely though - Caswell’s one of my favourite beaches. We’re planning a New Year’s Day walk on a beach when we’re back in Wales

Hope you had a lovely break,

Cheers! And go drink something warm!

5 Richard 12.27.06 at 3:23 pm: Rick - the cafe was open, and I was sipping hot chocolate just as soon as i got my trousers on. The feeling in my feet returned after about an hour!

Alice - Cheating??? I’m a bit of a wuss about getting in the sea even in the summer, so I reckon I was way beyond the call of duty. Ruth was very keen to go for a swim.

Kim - I shall ignore you completely.

Jen - go make yourself a hot chocolate!

Looks like a smashing day out Richard at a rather nice location…
