Snow Thoughts

Soft snow underfoot as I wander through the forest.

 Only my thoughts for company, I walk on for hours.

I came out here to escape my thoughts, but they intrude constantly.

I need to be free of them if only for a day

If only for a night

We need to stop the fighting

We need to stop the war

We need to spread the love

between the rich and the poor.

We have to look beyond

The differences we show

And find the common ground

And let our love grow.

We shouldn’t worry about his faith

Or the language that he speaks

Because we’re all of us

 God’s children

None of us are freaks.

O God,
whose love restores
the brokenhearted of this world:
pour out your love,
we beseech you,
upon those who feel
lonely, abandoned, or unloved.
Strengthen their hope
to meet the days ahead;
give them the courage
to embrace those who are different;
and bless them with the joy
of your eternal peace and love.
Amen

A cave in the rocks             

Feeling a bit sleepy

Having a 5 minute rest (well earned)

 

 

So many colourful buildings.

Too many to choose from :)
 

Relaxing on the only "soft" spot I could find.
 

 

 

 

Wales 2013 - Natures Base Camp Site

The big tent.  Quite cozy once you get into the swing of things.  Not so good for old bones though.









Our diningroom/lounge/kitchen.










I slept in this little tent for one night, couldn't get comfortable and felt quite restricted.












The campsite was set out really nicely, with plenty of space for privacy.












Overlooking a part of the bay at New Quay.















So many twisty turns, with all the pretty little houses lining the streets.










Another part of the bay.














All the colourful little boxes on the hillside.












Low tide in the yacht part of the bay.














Waiting on the pier for our ship to come in and take us on a trip.













Out in the bay.











On our way to look for dolphins.










































Beautiful rock formations and caves.
