Yesterday (my birthday) was also a walk for the Macmillan nurses charity, we'd originally planned to do the walk and have a picnic after and watch the fireworks display at the end, sadly my back was just too bad, and Shirleys foot was also too bad for the 10k walk, although the boys were fine with it.
So we switched to plan B, always best to have a plan B, and CDEF and G for that matter.
Anyway plan B was to walk the few hundred yards from a parking spot to the old Margam abbey which overlooks Margam castle and the fireworks display. Which is what we did, we took our picnic, some flasks of tea and a bunch of torches, and went and chilled out.
Now I haven't been out in the countryside in the pitch dark for a while, but it's still magic to see the bats ect. Back to the fireworks, the display was supposed to start at 10.oclock sharp, the time the nurses come on duty or so the website said.... in fact it started at 18 minutes to 10 sharp, why the odd time I don't know, but luckly I'd set up ready.
Heres some pics of the firewoks and one I've called Dante's inferno (the steelworks) plus a slightly spooky pic of the castle itself at night..
