Cloudy sky returned for some of the day. Jasmine cooked pancakes for breakfast with Grandma support. Then we drove to Porthkerry Country Park and the cloud cleared along the coast. We took photos on the beach, then had a drink and ice cream at Mrs Marco's Cafe. I had my first veegan choc ice of the season which was nice, but not quite chilled enough so it rapidly began to melt in the heat and needed eating fast, which detracts a little from the pleasure.
When we returned, Jas and I went to check out the moorhens in Thompson's park. Parents with young kids in the park after school were keen to tell them about the nest, and the hope of seeing eggs hatch. Sadly it's not going to happen while Jas is here, so I've promised to send her the first photos I get when they do.
The two of them walked over the the Royal Welsh College at tea time for the 'Amser Jazz' end of summer term session. I had messages to respond to and worked on Sunday's sermon. With three readings this week worth drawing attention to, it took time to think about what to write. Then, a walk around the Fields and back, by which time Clare and Jas were crossing the park on their way home just behind me. I got home just ahead of them, in time to start cooking pasta and veg.
Then it was time for Jas to pack her case, ready for an early departure for the London train tomorrow. It's been a lovely week we've had with her. Sharing an interest in photography with her has been a delight, as Clare has had pleasure in making music with her, and sharing culinary creations. Hopefully in a couple of years time she'll be studying over here in UK, and there's be opportunities to see her more often.
