Next month, we are taking the students into the field for our Earth, Climate and Evolution module. This year, Katrien can’t make it to the one in Red Wharf Bay, so I needed a replacement. And I recruited Kate for that. But she hadn’t done it before, so I suggested we do a recce. And I figured the dog would love a session on the beach.
The day before had been horrendous, and the day after would be too! But the very day of the recce it was gorgeous. And somehow, there was still parking available.
We did the whole thing, with Bryn following us around with a stone in his mouth. I think he resented us standing still too much, and not letting him have our lunches, but otherwise I think a good time was had by all. Success!

When I got home I went for a run in Cwm Llafar. I really wanted to make the most of the glorious day! And in order to get there you have to get past Sue and Dean’s house, and I thought it would be rude to not pop by to say hello. So I did that too. Sue was away but Dean made me a lovely cup of tea. And the cats were up for more than zero interaction! What a successful day. And the next one would be for epically rubbish weather with enough rain to flood roads, and enough wind to close them with fallen-over trees, so extra reason to enjoy this oasis of sun and a pleasant breeze…
