Place tent + food + books + various items of a camping nature into small blue car.
Drive car west 'till the road endeth.
Unpack car. Put up tent. Cook food using items of a camping nature. Eat. Sleep.
Walk along gooooooorgeous beaches and up cliffs, down cliffs, up and down dunes, across moors, and generally round and about.
Get sunburned. Or possibly sunburnt. My fault for trying to walk from Llanmadoc to Worms Head (it's a place, honest!) without the aid of factor 20. My left arm is living evidence of global warming. I will not be sending it to the Environment Agency.
Sleep lots. Usually at night. Usually in tent.
Repeat x 6.
Put tent and items of a camping nature into car.
Drive to Ross-on-Wye.
Do it all again x 2 with a day long book hunting excursion to Hay-on-Wye. Found millions of books. None of them ones I wanted.
Pack up tent and items of a camping nature and drive to nr Yeovil to have lunch with a friend. End up at a leaving party for the nanny of friends of my friend. One of those lovely evenings which ends with sitting round a kitchen table sharing wine and lemon tart with exceptionally fine people talking about children/love/anger/frustration/rage/etc....as you do. Someone offered that they get so mad and angry at their children (7 & 5??). This got me wondering about the nature of love and violence, more precisely, can anger/rage/frustration be valid expressions of love. I'm presently coming down on the side of 'yes', even thinking that love is impoverished if we seek to preclude the possibility of uncontrolled rage. Love is a sharp knife-edge.
Anyway, while I was hiking around the Gower peninsula of the Principality of Wales, I thought of the Wibloggers gathered at Greenbelt and started to engage in a bit of word-play, as I'm disposed towards doing. Thus I came up with the idea of an annual Wibloggers WigLobbing contest. Basically, it's an annual contest where Wibloggers Lob a Wig. Furthest wins. 2 lobs each. Winner keeps wig for a year and may use for fancy-dress parties. Shampoo and conditioner not included.
I'll just...umm...get ma coat then...
