In May 2017 we decided to visit Blackrock Sands for a birthday celebration. the weather was typically poor – wet and windy but warmer than winter and lighter for longer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Welsh coastal path runs along the cliffs and dunes behind the beach and this is the view towards the beach after a climb up the cliff.\u00a0There is a small house tight on the rocky headland which seems impossible to get to other than by boat. It can be seen in the distance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is another shot showing the sandy bay with the house. Can you spot it?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As \u00a0night fell we poured the wine and prepared the disco ball ………………<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We needed to shelter behind the wind break as it was not that warm for May.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not sure what is happening here but the fire looks inviting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Feet up and enjoying the sunset by candlelight. The book is called History of the VW Camper and…………….<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lo and behold – the camper from the cover of the book manifest right in front of us!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We ran out of wood and nowhere had any. Not even the petrol station or hardware store. We found a few sacks of kindling in a pound shop and we needed more wood. We said to each other we need an abandoned pallet. On the way back to the \u00a0beach from the wood hunt we took a back route. And there was an old pallet next to a large green waste bin! How does it get any better than that?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then we had the pleasure of sawing it with the fat max saw and chopping it with an axe bought from Sweden hand made and rather expensive I thought – for an axe. I was assured that its a very special axe and it did prove to be very useful indeed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By now everyone has gone home and our fun is just starting! Axe and Fat Max saw worth their weight in gold!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The green ‘organic label was found on the pallet. Very appropriate I think for showing off the fancy Scandinavian Axe!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had more than enough wood for a roaring fire all night.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And the Maglite Torch made a great disco ball illuminator so long as someone shone it in the right way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
