By his chair in the pub(which has his walking stick laying across it). Overwhelmed by the hugs, the compassion, the funny stories, how much dad meant to so many people and how many lives he touched. The pint of shit lager (which he loved) for him finished me off.

Walking the Wales Coastal Path between Llanelli and Burry Port and what a spectacular day for seeing butterflies, including holly blues which I have never seen before. Unfortunately they won't stay still enough for a photo apart from this very obliging Meadow Brown.

While everyone else on the tourist boat was excited to see the blue caves, I was jumping around shouting SWIFTS! SWIFTS! Obviously I was jumping around so much I was unable to catch them in any of the 27 photos I took.
