Daily Panorama Another lovely day by the sea
Regular readers will recognise this view as Langland yet again. It’s by no means my favourite beach in Swansea or Gower, but it’s easy to get to with the little uns and there is always enough there to occupy them.
This view specifically is familiar and oft used because at this point I can safely get the iPhone out. In the rock pools or in the sea, the chances are that our smallest will manage to entertain a full on salt water faceplant, so I’m usually on alert and unable to spin around on the spot capturing one of my amazing panoramas.
To quote that fella off black and white Blue Peter: “Never work with animals or children unless you want to be up to your elbows in excrement.”
Daily Panorama: Thick Soup
Fog. Fog. Fog. John Carpenter’s The Fog. Fog.
Normally it’s always rain down here in Swansea, but for a change we were provided with a bizarre alternative of 3 days of virtually zero visibility on our side of Swansea. Over the hill and away from the sea it was 100% visibility as norm and they didn’t know what all the fuss was about.
Oh, we were excited to be surrounded in grey soup. I think our eldest would have actually enjoyed undead pirates spawning from within, but alas he had to make do with his family appearing and reappearing dressed as undead pirates instead.
On the sea front, Langland beach was our choice this time (yes, it always is), the fog/mist burnt off and left us with sun so hot you could burn your neck. And oh did we burn. And we’re still feeling it.
These panoramas illustrate the before and after, or more like the midway and end point. Previous posts illustrate the Big Soup soupiness. These are more like consomme and/or cawl.

Daily Panorama: The Creature from the Fog
This illustrates how thick the fog was!
UPDATE: Clicking on the above image now loads a larger version as requested. It’s not hi-res, but it’s better than the above by miles.
Daily Panorama: Misty Beach
Really odd day weather wise, with a constantly disappearing and reappearing mist by the seaside. Quite amazing though.
Took some panoramas down by the beach to illustrate the difference. Will show these tomorrow or sometime this week.
Good to be back by the way following a sickness related hiatus. I didn’t think the view of a glass of water at the side of the bed would have interested.
