Hello Mumbles

So today was time to head off for Dave's first summer holiday, a week in the beautiful Mumbles, South Wales.

As Lewy runs her own business she can never leave her work behind totally and has to have her own mini office of paperwork and equipment to hand even when we are away.With that in mind it was time to try out the roof box. Well the box was full, as was the boot AND the back seat, all that plus the two bikes on the carrier made quite a heavy load for Dave.






I was still pleasantly surprised to find that despite all that onboard Dave still managed a very reasonable 50 mpg on the journey down, which was via the hills and valleys rather than using the motorway. Enroute Dave reached another mileage milestone.




The drive down was a real mixture of bright sunshine and torrential rain, so when we finally arrived at The Mumbles first job was to get some lovely fresh scollops from the local fish monger, second job was to collect the keys to the apartment, third job was a brisk half....




So after a walk down the seafront it was back to the apartment to unload and unpack, before heading off to Port Eynon for an amazing fish and chip supper, sat by the beach with amazing views out to sea.
