"Suddenly a mist fell from my eyes and I knew the way I had to take."
Edvard Grieg

A spontaneous decision, at K2 suggestion, for me and K1 to visit Cardiff Bay to take advantage of the sunshine and have a walk [and get a few photos of course].

First time I've taken the walk from the Norwegian Church out to the Barrage.  Plenty of people out and about enjoying the sun today, kids in the skate park and  cycling the coast path.  Met E on the return, out with G and children, regular visitors here apparently.  I was really surprised at the number of people here, seems a popular destination.  Needless to say stopped at the Church for a coffee and cake, then back home in time to catch the tail end of the Scotland Ireland game and England France afterwards.

The photo - Scott of the Antctic of course, who left Cardiff Bay on board the Terra Nova over 100 years ago to walk to the South Pole.  He made it, but wasn't the first there - the Norwegian Roald Amundsen made it first.   Not the only Norwegian connection in Cardiff of course; from the Norwegian Church which is such a landmark on the approach into the Bay to author Roald Dahl, born in Llandaff in 1916 and remembered in playful sculptures along the coast path walk to the Barrage.
