After spending a very pleasant seven days in London, we boarded a Great Western Railway train bound for Cardiff City. We spent an even more pleasant few days in the company of our nephew’s in-laws, Clive and Lucy-Ann. We also picked up the Thunder Puffin – our little home on wheels for the next five to six months. Clive had it parked in his driveway, waiting for us in much better shape than we left it! Then he helped us install an electrical hookup and a sink in it! So amazing!! Or is that just your average Welshman? Either way, thanks Clive!
Here’s a photo gallery from our week spent in South Wales. Enjoy!

Lucy-Ann took us for a hike through a wood that was blanketed with a carpet of bluebells

Looking out to Skomer Island, which is famous for its massive colonies of sea birds. We didn’t make it onto the island itself, but did have a very beautiful hike on the Marloes peninsula.

The huge tide swings make for crazy powerful currents in the UK, especially in narrow channels like this one
