My videos are now on YouTube

Today I started to show some of my videos of Pembrokeshire on YouTube.   My first one was uploaded a few hours ago and features Barafundle Bay on a glorious June day, earlier in this year.  I have registered under the name of Johlibaptist, so I hope you can find and view them easily.  So far all the videos are related to the Pembrokeshire Coast in Wales.  It is officially recognized as a place of outstanding natural beauty and the coastal path is a national park. Enjoy!

Beautiful Barafundle Bay

Barafundle Bay is my favourite beach.  It is very beautiful on a bright sunny day.  I can recall some very happy moments there.  Next year a film called Barafundle Bay will be released at the end of April, directed by Hattie Dalton and starring Hugh Bonneville, Benedict Cumberbatch, JJ Feild and Tom Burke.  There is an interesting and amusing blog about the making of this film with some fine photographs.  No doubt this film will make Barafundle Bay even more popular and crowds of people will be visiting it.  I just hope that it does not get spoilt, because part of its wonderful charm is its calm, peaceful and natural setting.  I love Barafundle Bay as it is, without the litter and pollution.  I hope there is never a hotel, bar, restaurant or leisure facility by the beach.  I also hope that you enjoy my photographs of Barafundle Bay. Such a beautiful place!

Footprints in the sand at Barafundle Bay, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

I have inserted, among my photographs down below in this blog, a photograph of footprints in the sand at Barafundle beach, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It reminds of the famous Footprints in the Sand Christian poem. The authorship of this poem has been hotly disputed. Its message has been a blessing to many people all over the world and has been translated into many languages. There is a popular ballad sung by Leona Lewis based on the famous words from an idea by Simon Cowell.

I have discovered that the fossils of dinosaur footprints can been seen in the rocks at low tide.

Beautiful Barafundle Bay, Pembrokeshire, one of Britain's best beaches

Barafundle Bay, which is under the care of the National Trust and listed as part of the Stackpole Estate, has one of the most beautiful beaches in Britain. It is my favourite beach in Wales. The golden sands and dunes can be accessed by the Pembrokeshire Coastal path and it is not easily reached. It is unspoilt and right away from the madding crowd, car parks, caravans, holiday homes, buildings, roads and shops.

I love to visit Barafundle out of the school holiday season and on bright sunny evenings in June when there are very few people on the beach and along the coastal path. On such June evenings it is wonderfully peaceful. My photographs were taken this June on a beautiful sunny evening when my family were, by the time we left the beach, the only people in the area. Magnificent!

I hope you like the photographs in my gallery, so scroll well down below in this blog.

The best soup I have tasted from a can

Have you tried the soup in the Baxters luxury range? Well, the Lobster Bisque with the new improved recipe is delicious! I thoroughly recommend it. I cannot think of a better soup that I have tasted from a can. And the Cream of Asparagus, also with the new improved recipe, is full of flavour and well worth trying. But do try the Lobster Bisque and tell me what you think. It comes with brandy and fresh double cream. Go on, get some from your supermarket. I bought mine from Sainsbury's for £1.42. Well worth it too! Do you agree?

Good to be back blogging again

In July my PC died and I was sad to lose so much on my hard drive, though attempts to retrieve files and photographs continue with some expert help. At the end of July and in August I was in Ontario, Canada. I saw the Niagara Falls again and visited the lovely town of Niagara on the Lake.

I have added some more photographs on this blog in my gallery below. I hope that you enjoy them.
There will be some new photographs of Canada.

I now have a new computer and will back up my photographs etc. so that they are securely saved and kept for the future. It is good to be able to blog again, and I hope to share my thoughts, my joys, my theological reflections and continue to celebrate the beauty of England, Finland, Sweden and Wales.
