Today, for the first time in several weeks, conditions are favourable enough for a walk in the country. Under largely sunny skies, and a relatively mild temperature of 9 degrees, we head for the Gower peninsula in South Wales to find 2 iron age hillforts perched in formidable redoubts at the top of high limestone cliffs. Only s few small sections of embankments are still visible, but they are there, and the two mile walk across sodden fields is well rewarded. There is barely a breath of wind inland, but the sea still holds huge kinetic energy from storms far out to sea, and the waves, complete with tubes ideal for surfers (provided they are suicidal), crash vigorously against the foot of the cliffs.
For lunch my wife has prepared cheese and pickle rolls and Heinz tomato soup in a flask. Delightful. I pronounce it the perfect packed lunch for such an occasion.
