    Some great news ...

    With the rugby not going to good at the moment for Wales it was really great to hear that on a survey of world beaches, Oxwich Bay on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales came out excellent. It has been hailed as the most beautiful in Britain, and one of the worlds dreamiest dozen. Just thought I share that with you and here's a few pics over two posts

    Excellent, Derek, must visit some more south Wales beaches some day. It certainly looks a lot nicer than Barry !

    Thank you Derek. This gives me a second reason to visit Wales the next time I am over the pond. During my last trip, I met a couple of families from the area that have been asking us to come back. The Welsh seem to be some of the friendliest people I have met in my world travels!

    The beach and area look great. Do they make a kilt for swimming?

    Derek,

    Beautiful pictures. Do I sense you have selected your destination for your next outdoor excursion?

    (Says Panache looking forward to another Derek photo tour of Wales.)

    Cheers
