Things to do in Wales

This lad seems to have it sorted. At least it's not raining on him, like it is on all the Cymro that have ventured out of their caves...

Rhossili.

If you're lucky you can watch the sheep falling over the cliffs.

Is that equivalent of falling start/make a wish kind of thing in Wales?

Rhossili is very nice...

Lots of walks, and if the kids want to see a real coal mine, Big Pit (or Bryn Mawr) is worth a visit.

I think you mean Pwll Mawr. Brynmawr is the market town further up the valley and means Big Hill.

But I'd second a visit to Big Pit, fascinating place with a really good underground tour.

Zeity used to work in Bryn Mawr many years ago, just across the road from the cinema.

Bill's Fancy Goods perhaps?

Go sea angling, see some dolfins catch some mackerel and maybe a dogfish or a ray, cook it, eat. Or don't cook it and make the freshest sashimi you can find.

Unfortunately it's probably rather rough and chilly on the sea at the moment.

Mackerel sashimi is usually cured in salt and vinegar. You might be able to eat it without that if it's straight out of the sea but I've never tried.

Above "Kutz & Kurls".

Interesting that the entrance corridor appears to have gone.

I think it's just a flat above there now. Must have been a fair few years ago. Was The Talisman called The Chartist back then?

Rhossili Bay Beach - Swansea - Voted 10th best beach in the world by Trip Advisor!
All round Gower and the Mumbles round Swansea is recommended.

Yep, it's good straight out of the sea with a bit of that wasabi stuffage or even a few drops of tabasco. Catch, fillet, eat.

The only pub I ever went to in Bryn Mawr was just down the road, Y Gwesty Bach.

The firm I worked for had the 1st & 2nd floors above the hairdressers. When the restaurant next door went bust, we rented that too, which was a step too far.

Big ideas etc.

The Gwesty has gone back to its original name of The Clarence recently but is still there. The restaurant became Brynmawr's first Indian takeaway.
