Lazy weekend

 We have done very little whilst away, gental walks, meals out, here at Ogmore Castle about 30 minutes drive, a perfect hour out, no rain. I did get half way across these stones before losing my nerve.




Our accommodation is on the shore line, these huge beaches have rocks, rock pools and dunes, vast sandy beaches, loads of places to walk. Plenty of people watching, dog walkers, people swimming, loads of crafts of different types on the water, we are having long warm sunny days.




Plenty of time to read, I ensured I had my favourite authors to read, another taken from the David Raker PI series, his latest case to find a patient who has disappeared from a private clinic which becomes linked to another historic missing man case and the disappearance of 3 women a project covered by Raker when he was a journalist. Book 67 read this year.


My second book by Lindwood Barclay, a mother from New York takes her son away from the city for the summer, it also tells a back story, so you think you know what is going to happen, a new shop opens in towns selling train sets, strange things start happening.  Book 68 read this year.



We are staying in Trecco Bay, near Porthcawl, South Wales, it's  a huge holiday park, we are on the edge away from the centre and all the noise and people, our accommodation is beside a walkway and the beach, it's perfect for sunrises, we walk 20 minutes to see sunset. We are resting and reading alot, no cooking. 

Today is our last full day, we have no plans as yet, just having a lazy breakfast together, should be another dry day,

  2. Sounds like a nice "getaway" now that summer is passing her baton to autumn and nights are drawing in.

  3. Looks lovely. I love reading on holiday … especially in the autumn and winter. It always feels really cosy tucked up looking out at the weather.
