"Can I climb that?"

Dear Heart,
It was just the loveliest day - a string of pearls with plenty to spare!
Siân took a train from Cardiff and met me in Swansea town, where we bus-hopped, walked and giggled our way down to a selection of Mumbles' finest treats. The Titanic restaurant; the Mumbles peaks; air hockey and small-time gambling; accidentally discovering a drag club sponsored by Cher, apparently... We (or rather, Siân) wrote Lucy a letter in the sand, like a message in a bottle. I ate lasagne and chips and bought five books from charity shops and spun myself sick (but not literally, thank goodness!).
Then Pa and I drove Siân back to Cardiff, running on silver moonlight and that quiet satisfaction that comes from just being happy, without even trying.
Love, Lydia x
