Rhosilli and Burry Port

One of the many reasons I love The Gower is the large expanses of beaches, which unlike Devon and Cornwall are so much quieter and just huge.  Also the walks along the Coastal path is quite frankly just sheer bliss to me.

This is Rhosilli beach. The little white house you can rent I would imagine an amazing place to stay. 

The land at the end is oddly named Worms Head and is owned by the National Trust. 

So many pretty flowers. 

I sat here for an hour just watching the sea. 

I was lucky enough to stay in a lovely Airbnb in Burry Port where each day I walked to the coast to see if the tide was in or out. 

One of the many pleasures and fascinations I have is Geology and seeing the different rocks of which there were such variety here. 

This huge huge expanse of sky and clouds and beach is just my happy place. 

This is Burry Port with a busy harbour of boats coming and going with the tide. 

WWT Llanelli and Botanical Gardens Wales

The first of my holidays this year took me over to The Gower in Wales

My first stop as I'm a member of WWT and want to visit as many sites as I can was Llanelli.  Very easy to get to and a good size reserve. 

I've no idea how long this bird took to make, but it was very impressive 

There is a small area that you can look down the estuary over towards The Gower. 

Got to love the inquisitive look. 

Super cute chicks. 

This Goose was not happy with me! 

The next day I travelled to one of my favourite gardens The Botanical Gardens of Wales where I bought an annual membership last year. 

So I can visit when I want along with other Botanical gardens and Arboretums around England and Wales. 

There are so many area's to walk around I can happily spend all day here especially as it is 568 acres of grounds! 

I indoor glass dom is just amazing. 

The roof reflects the clouds perfectly. 

As I visit in the week day it was blissfully quiet like having the grounds to myself. 

The fallen tree makes such a good sculpture. 

I treated myself to these to lovely crystals bracelets as I just love the colours.
