Summer has deserted us over the last few days but with the sea flat calm and no wind to speak of, braver souls than me went in for a dip at Penycwm. There’s something special about being at the beach in the rain on a still day; it usually means you’re likely to have the beach to yourself and it can seem like you’re the first person to ever set foot there. The rain clears away footprints and dapples the surface of the sand, the sea is pocked with raindrops and wet rocks and pebbles glisten. It becomes a quiet place and it feels like an escape from the world. Not an unwelcome feeling these days.
