Photo of the day – Dreams can come true.

Mother’s Day this Sunday was particularly special for me. I got to go to Laugharne and trundle up the hill to see the Writing Shed, where Dylan Thomas penned Under Milkwood and lived in the Boat house until his Death. Laugharne is a place of a truly inspiring atmosphere. It’s got a level of tranquility about it which is grounding. I’ll do a full review when the weather is warmer! Needless to say getting chance to see the writing shed where this world famous poet and playwright worked, was a real treat for me. On previous occasions I did not have the powered wheelchair and couldn’t get to it. Sunday I did. Dreams do come true.

Photo of the day – Aberaeron

As I become a 24/7 wheelchair user, as my feet give out and EDS pokes it tongue out at my attempts to defy it, I am having to find new ways of taking photographs. I spend a lot of time driving about the sparsely populate county of Ceredigion. Part of Ceredigion clings to the middle of the West Wales coast, on a good day, views to rival those of some of the best locations in the world. As I drive I am now learning to play spot the lay-by incase theres a good photograph opportunity I can grab, from the comfort of my car, or just leaning on it outside of it. This photograph was taken from one such lay-by. One I will be revisiting as the seasons change and the daylight hours lengthen. Here is my first shot over looking Aberaeron. If you are ever this way, make sure you pull into the town itself and stop for a while. The brightly painted houses give light to the darkest day. Nestled there is a lovely harbour, with pretty views over the church and out to sea. The Hive is a fabulous place to stop for a cup of coffee or an ice cream in season. If you have a bit more time, their menu for lunch is good! There are many other eateries in Aberaeron and some quaint little shops. Well worth a visit!

2018 – A year to get rolling

I am not certain where this year is going to take me, or where it will lead. I have few set fast goals. One however is a to a photo of a day. Some of the themes I’ll be using have been suggested by members of Conscious Crafties, a fabulous website and community supporting people with chronic health conditions and their carers to sell their products and services without stress.

Welcome to my journey and I hope you enjoy the ride.
