For those who have noticed postings from Jake who says he is from "the
dryer (east) end of Swansea Bay." I should point out that this is
dryer, not Dry,
It's this rain that gives us the lush green and the beautiful
beaches that are "The Gower",

The miles of sea washed sands that are Swansea Bay Look at

Fabulous gardens such as Clyne gardens in the spring

Why not visit this great part of Wales and also have the chance to
sample real Welsh Rain

But remember to wear wellies and to book the crane that a certain Mr
Gavin used at Chelsea this year - you may need it to heave you out of
the mud. Also a good idea to carry a few spare pairs of wellies in
case yours don't come out of the mud with you.

And, of course, the lush green beaches of the Gower are simply because
so much wet has meant that the weeds have colonised the sand. At the
dryer east end, we have sand dunes (Kenfig), rich in flora and fauna,
including some very rare orchids, but these lead to lovely beaches
which are golden, as sandy beaches should be.

And you don't need so many pairs of wellies!

Actually, the whole of South Wales has so much to offer, from the
scenic cliffs of Southerndown, the graceful curves of Swansea Bay (and
the graceful curves of the bikini clad ladies you will often find on
the golden sands in the summer), waves for surfers, rocks for
climbers, wonderful views, lovely gardens and, if that isn't enough,
the occasional glimpse of the Swansea Bay Three exercising in their
red shorts on the beach somewhere.

And a lot of mud at the west end.

I must admit, to my shame, I've only ever been to Wales once and that was
for a friends funeral up near Lampeter. Lovely countryside, stunning views
and comparatively empty.
