For the last week in August, we traveled to England to meet our daughter Susan. After a day of travel, we arrived for a one night stay in London. The following day we headed to Wales. After passing through Swansea, we left the M4 and headed to the Gower peninsula, for a break from driving. We stopped at Penrice Castle Park and took a walk through the park. Susan and Angela headed up the path while I made to following image.
Path To Penrice Castle
The castle is located on the top of a hill that we climbed. In the past the castle was destroyed and is now in ruins; the walls are covered in bushes as nature takes its course.

From the castle walls, we looked down over the mansion situated in the park grounds. After climbing down, it soon began to drizzle. This was our signal to complete the journey! The remainder of the journey was in the rain.

We stopped at Broad Haven for dinner and checked into the hostel at Marloes Sands later that night. During the night, it continued to rain and stopped for a short time in the morning.
We took this opportunity to walk down to the beach. Off course, the rain started again and continued for a few more hours! We headed back to the hostel so that we could dry off.
Rocks At Marloes Sands
As we headed back to the hostel along the cliff path, I stopped to make the following image of the beach while the the rain continued to fall.

During the afternoon, the weather cleared and we headed out to do some more exploration. We made our way to Dale, a coastal town a few miles away. We had some grocery shopping to get done before we enjoyed the sunny weather as sailors were packing up their boats for the weekend. I took a walk through one of the streets where I found these two flower boxes with bright red geraniums.
