I continue along the unremarkable Golf Club path, until recently, submerged in seawater that had escaped its confines, and charged violently over the sea wall, hurling toxic debris from its watery wrath. I walk up a small pebbled incline, and there it is. It never fails to excite me, and it never disappoints, a consistent stimulant.
The whole extent of Cardigan Bay lies before me, from the Llyn Peninsula in the North, extending a friendly hand to our cousins in Eire, to beautiful Tenby in the South.
The tide is almost fully in, not so vicious today, but showing off in a salty, translucent rush, the crests pure white and glistening in the morning light, crashing relentlessly onto the beach, sculpting a slightly different landscape every day, creating and then destroying, like a demented artist. There is, as is usual, a breeze from the West, fresh and satisfying, cleansing my soul as I continue my morning walk.
The grace of the moment is disturbed by a gang of Herring Gulls, screaming like I imagine an insane mind to be screaming inside. They are fighting over something that lies dead on the sand, it is still and broken, like a vow. It looks like a Porpoise, ejected from the circle of life. It has a huge gash along its side, displaying soft pink flesh and bone, the secrets that lie beneath the skin, the mysteries within, spilt out onto the sand, visible now for all to see. There is no dignity in death, and you don’t have to look too far to find it on a beach. The stench fills my lungs, the putrid odour of unnecessary death is everywhere these days. I walk slowly into the cold green sea to wash the decay from my skin, and I keep walking, deeper and deeper, freezing cold and breathless. I see there is something on the horizon, it looks vaguely like hope.
No matter what injustices are thrust upon us, no matter what despair we feel, there is always that, isn’t there?
2018 is going to be the year of the British Holiday (again). Ditch those flights to far off exotic countries with guaranteed sunshine and opt instead for a caravan holiday in West Wales, where the weather is gloriously unpredictable. There is no question that this part of Wales has the most outstanding and spectacular scenery and it still takes my breath away after living here for many years. The only thing you need to enjoy a holiday in Wales is the weather.
The Christmas holidays can be the perfect time to take a magical break in your van and get cosy with your nearest and dearest
When it comes to great holidays in the UK, visiting Aberystwth and staying in a caravan is a huge favourite for many families. Caravan holidays in Wales have been popular for many years and that doesn’t look like it will be changing any time soon, however when it rains, as it often does in the UK, you may need to stay indoors and find something else to keep the family occupied. After all, the majority of activities at many holiday parks in Wales are outdoors and aren’t as enjoyable when it’s cold and raining.
