Nefyn to Porthcolman July 14

Fifteen miles is a lot easier than twenty-one, but because of hesitating here and there—when it doesn't look right it usually isn't—and being cautious—you really have to be what with al those treacherous cliffs and all (there you are holding onto a thick tuft of grass to keep from slipping, grateful that your slight physiognomy allows you to do this effectively)—and maybe just being a year older, it seems as if the time it takes to walk fifteen miles is more than it should be.

The beginning is always calm and promising even if it is grey, windy and freezing cold:

At Morfa Nefyn is a fabulous golf course, just fabulous, the most fabulous, and guess who does NOT own it?  Lots of balls must be lost to the God of Golf, though:

Just what might Warning Calls words be, maybe even coming from the deep, as just above?

I forget why I took this picture.  Consider it the scene of the day:

No, wait!  I do remember (two days later).  It is a photo dedicated to Alex, who, no doubt, would have cheerfully put up with a damaged phone, inspired by a conversation:

"Hello, Apple?  Can you tell me how I might get a smashed i-Phone repaired?"

"Oh, sorry to hear that, Victoria.  I've been there a few times myself," says Apple Person.  You are not comforted by his scripted instruction to identify with potentially irritated customer.

Au contraire!  You want to shout, "Mister look at the picture.  You have not been here!  And, no, I cannot make an appointment and go to one of your select few Apple Stores in the UK., and if I am lucky get the phone back the same day or the next day, because I am HERE!

Drama of the phone has different resolution, since a ten day turn around time for a mail-in repair will not do, and besides, no place I've seen to set up overnight delivery.  However, isn't it just the state of things that Apple can overnight a new phone to a business in a town of just a few streets, but not effect a repair just as quickly.  En todo caso, if any one will want to buy a slightly used iPhone7+, there will be one for sale when I return.

Now, back to nature.  These stepping stones, far less dramatic than those others, were definitely doable.  All that could happen if you slipped (unlikely) is that you would end up in a mixture of cow manure and mud:

Winged creatures riding the waves.  Watching them was very happy-making!
