Let's rewind to my last road trip of the year which was at the beginning of October.
 |
| Two lucky Labs |
 |
| We drove all the way across England and into Wales |
 |
| Finally we arrived in the small village of in Gileston somewhere between Cardiff and Swansea |
 |
| A nice welcome but no dog treats! |
 |
| Not a bad gaff Taff! |
 |
| We weren't far from the beach or Aberthaw Power Station |
 |
| That's a rocky beach |
 |
| What a dog! |
 |
| Making ourselves at home |
 |
| Saturday morning at a wet Llantwit Beach |
 |
| But we don't care! |
 |
| Ah that's why we went to Wales! Mum and dad sneaked off to watch Swansea v Ipswich |
 |
| Sunday morning in Barry. That's the house they used as Gwen's home in Gavin & Stacey |
 |
| Oh good there's a beach there |
 |
| On location |
 |
| Smithy, Gavin, Stacey & Nessa |
 |
| That's their Gavin & Stacey fix done so it's back in the car. Where to next? |
 |
| Hooray Cornwall |
 |
| We're staying in Portscatho for a week |
 |
| 'Monday Morning View' - people tend to have a photo of their toes with a swimming pool in the background when they're on holiday, this is my take on it |
 |
| The Royal Standard one of the two pubs in the village |
 |
| The Plume Of Feathers was the other one |
 |
| Just opposite our cottage |
 |
| Lovely day for a walk |
 |
| We did an eight mile walk along the Roseland peninsula from Portscatho to St Mawes |
 |
| It was great we hardly saw anyone and we had the beaches all to ourselves |
 |
| Cor...nish Pasty! |
 |
| They saved a bit for us |
 |
| We made it to a place called Place Creek |
 |
| Where we got a boat across to... |
 |
| St Mawes |
 |
| To the pub |
 |
| And then a bus ride back to Portscatho |
 |
| Quite an adventure - I loved it |
 |
| Needless to say we were knackered |
 |
| Another day another adventure, this time northwards along the Roseland Peninsula |
 |
| We f**kin' love it |
 |
| Portscatho in the distance |
 |
| Lunchtime at The Hidden Hut |
 |
| Porthcurnick Beach |
 |
| Lol we even got dad in - in his pants!! |
 |
| Someone's been in dad's backpack overnight and found the treats! |
 |
| Not so nice today |
 |
| The King Harry Ferry on the way to Lizard Point the most southerly part of mainland Britain |
 |
| The obligatory selfie |
 |
| Lizard lighthouse |
 |
| Heading along the coast to Kynance Cove |
 |
| Another great walk, although we weren't allowed a swim - too rough apparently! |
 |
| On the way home via The Norway Inn |
 |
| More rain as Storm Callum passes through Cornwall it didn't bother me an' Luth though |
 |
| Cor the sea's gettin' rougher |
 |
| Ah Luther loves daddy! |
 |
| A quick dip in the sea before teatime |
 |
| Chillin' |
 |
| Last day of the holiday |
 |
| A walk along the coast to The Hidden Hut |
 |
| Not many people about today |
 |
| Our final swim at Porthcurnick Beach dad not joining us today! |
 |
| Sunday morning 364 miles and we'll be home |
What a year it's been for me and Luther we've been on three holiday's and visited 8 different countries, not bad for a couple of black Labs!
I'll catch up with you soon with some mundane stories about the winter.
Lots of love from
Rudie THE Dog xx
