Awesome van shelf

Last weekend I got myself in order and made this little shelf for the van. It folds out so that there is a little shelf to put things on like plates or drinks. It was really satisfying making it, using my hands and also doing some woodwork.

The garden growing,

Here are some pictures of the garden as it has been growing over our summer. The tomatoes are going good, the capsicum's are filling out the the petunias are starting to almost take over.

Camping in the Gower

After a morning of lazing about on Saturday, Sarah came home form errands and encouraged me to go camping in the gower for the night. We quickly packed up and headed off to the Gower, hoping for a campsite nearest to Roshilly but when we arrived there it turned out that the campsite and the carpark were full. So we turned around and headed off to try and find another campsite. We ended up finding one the next beach over. It was really quiet and turned out to be a rather nice campsite. The fields were lush grass and there was not that many other campers there. With the sun setting really late and the light hanging around till nearly half ten at night we sat around and cooked dinner before lazing around our little fire pit.

Friday.

Had a lot of driving today in my company car. It turned out that today my satnav decided to send of across some really different routes. The first time the nav sent me over one of the passes between valleys the cloud descended so that the visability was down to about 100 M. It was really cool. Later on in the afternoon when I had decided to head home the satnav sent me along the route which took me along this single track road. This is where I took this picture. There was a huge slag pile of coal in the left of the picture.

Woo hoo!

Yay, no more work for a while. So now we are on the train heading to London to catch Bon Jovi, live in concert in the O2 arena. From there we have a day in London before flying out to australia! Not long now till we will be there.

Powderfinger farewell tour.

I just got out of the powderfinger gig in bristol, and it was AWESOME! It just makes me a bit sad that they are breaking up. They played a great set list and they had to come back out to play My happiness.

Saturday.

Today the day dawned grey and unimpressive so we slept in then decided to go for a drive to another town. We ended up in Port Eynon and did a little souvenir shopping before chowing down on fish and chips in the van. With lunch over we headed off to Llangennith where we hit Rhosili beach and checked out the surf. Being both warm weather water people Sarah and I decided to just watch and fly our kite. There was just enough wind to fly our kite but not enough for the land kiter to get his power kite and mountain board going.
