Life on Planet Paradise gets richer and richer despite its
physical limitations although if I’m truthful, then the cognitive malfunctions
now outweigh the physical ones. The joy
of being at such an age is that friends from the past start retiring from their careers
giving us a chance to meet up and rekindle our mutual interests. Such is Life
with the Master of Surprises when you find yourself pushing 60 however, is that that forgetting to take a mobile
phone, aka lifeline, means that the
friend who drives six miles to your home then six miles back into town is
begged to return to pick up the lifeline before we embarked on today’s
adventure.
Finally we had lunch
at Café Twocann, Swansea Marina,
then we boarded The Copper Jack, Swansea's Community Boat for a trip up river
following the Heritage Trail of the past copper industry which Swansea was
famous for. I haven't kept copies of shots which I've captured in the past of the actual
barge, neither could I take shots from
where I was sitting because of rain on the windows. However the guide spotted
this Grey Heron ahead so I moved quickly to the front of the boat and shot this
through the drier window. A fascinating
trip learning even more than I knew already about our Industrial Heritage but
also interesting to see the cormorants, moorhens, and other birds in the water
and on the riverbank. Also a lesson
learned: keep husband’s mobile phone number in notebook in case you forget your
phone.
