a surprise trip to the seaside

Well, not really a surprise as I go there after each visit to my local hospital for a monthly blood test, but what was a surprise on my latest trip there was the wonderfully beautiful blooming state of the little garden at the back of Limeslade Bay in Mumbles.

It was created by a gentleman in memory of his late wife who enjoyed visiting the bay regularly.  Anyway, here's an image from the day of a false oil beetle there.  It was enjoying the flowers there as much as I, and undoubtedly many other visitors there, do.
