Little Esme is making good progress:

…but she still has her lighter moments:

Pictures by Sally.

In Prior’s Wood, between Portbury and Wraxall.

We’ll miss her.

We walked for about eight miles around a large loop in the River Wye between Whitchurch and Symonds Yat in Herefordshire. The route depended on this “rope” bridge across the river at the southern point.

Sal and I have new roles as grandparents. At last! Here, Esme is less than a day old. Mother and baby well. Father making good progress.

And a few days later, father up and about again!

A stroll along the barrier at Cardiff Bay to Penarth. I think the last time we saw Penarth pier was when we picked up additional passengers on our way from Clevedon to Lundy Island.
