Changing Tides

Got up early and headed to Poppit Beach for a sunrise swim. Went quite deep and could feel the tide turning. For a moment thought of B chastising me for getting carried away in the waves, but managed to swim to shore without too much difficulty.

Sauna, cold bath, shower and melted brownie, followed by a read and nap on the sofa. Later went out for lunch and a wonderful stroll around Cilgerran Castle in the sunshine, although unbelievably it had no tea room. Later to the coastal paths around Mwnt for some sweeping winds and views. Particularly enjoyed looking round an old churchyard but was sad to see the inscriptions on some of the gravestones worn completely away. What remains of us once even the stone has faded? Popped by Tesco on the way home to pick up some bits for tea.

Slightly dangerous dusk stroll to the village pub, which it turned out had closed early. Wales has thwarted me yet again. Enjoyed gazing up at the stars on the way home. Went to bed feeling very sad.
