Wifi-less in Gower

I've now got the photographs of our Steep Holm trip from Dru. I've put some of my favourites under the cut.

The life cycle of a herring gull, ab ovo to roaring out its victory having just shat on my shoe.

Ever the flibbertigibbet, I'm off again now for a few days, to revisit my friends Ronald and Ana (and others) on the Gower Peninsula, where we'll be devoting the weekend to the myth of Perseus, a subject about which I know little more now than I did at the age of 10 - but that's all about to change. I will be netless until Sunday, and until then I leave the digital world in the capable hands of you, oh friends list.

I'd love to go there, and see the horses. It's high on my list.

To really get the flavour, you need to stay a few days.

Sounds lovely. It's not an option on Steep Holm, of course.

The Landmark Trust run the cottages and stuff for the National Trust so they are available as lets.
