Birthday fun Monday, November 06, 2006

Thanks to my friends for giving me a fun birthday weekend. It's been easier to enjoy playing out because it's been lovely weather in Wales for about a week - calm, sunny, and mild. On Saturday Claire Jones, Axel and I headed to the Skerries in a lumpy swell. Axel has written it up on his blog.

On Sunday, Gemma, Axel and I headed to the Menai Straits to play on the fast moving water between the 2 bridges. We munched on some delicious chocolate presents and supped whiskey from a hip flask to warm us on the waves! It's the first time I've seen people on the white house on the island in the Menai Straits. I told them I'd like to buy their island, but I somehow don't think I could afford it! Thanks to Axel for the photo. I keep saying I must learn how to twirl my paddle properly!!
