Day by the sea

My son, L, had his friend W staying over and they had spent more than enough time on the laptop, XBox 360 etc. Ball-kicking was exhausted and they were bored.
Today started off perfect - brilliant sunshine and hardly a cloud in the sky.
The ideal time to head for the beach. For us, this means the Gower coastline and a 2 hour drive.
Some memories for us, too, as my hubby and I met in Swansea as students years ago. The lodgings and streets don't change, but the area is much more developed these days and the marina is very stylish. I wonder who lives in all these seafront luxury flats that keep being built?
I always feel a bit nostalgic and sad at revisiting my student town, but D says it was all so long ago he's over it now. Funny how memories come back; certain bars, friends you lost touch with years ago. Youth.
Even the prison was still the same, only the wall had been built a little higher.
Anyway, we stopped in Mumbles for a Joe's ice cream covered in nuts and chocolate, then headed for Worm's Head and a three hour walk.
Woods, sand and sea made for boy heaven and I filmed them zooming down sand-dunes and falling over.
A fish and chip tea was essential, before we finally drove the scenic route home.
