I was lying in bed this morning listening to the sound of the foghorn.
That's not the noise you want to hear of a summer's morning. Accurate though: I can usually see the lighthouse from my bedroom window and it was enveloped in fog today.
Mumbles Head is on the tip of Swansea Bay; across the sea is the steel town of Port Talbot. There is an old village saying that goes like this: if you can see Port Talbot it means it's going to rain; if you can't see it, it's raining.

Picturesque, Liz and with added authentic sounds too.
I promise you Liz, I am nowhere near Wales, this time it's not because I am visiting Wales that it is foggy.
If it help, I live 3miles from the millennium dome or the O2 as it is now known and I can't see it from the front door which is where it normally should be.
I grew up by the sea and I love the sound of fog horns
Much love,

I used to be able to hear the foghorns when I lived a bit further south - they'd be blowing when the ferries came in & out of the ferry dock. This morning all I heard around 6:00 am was the new 2-year-old waking up and screaming for his Mommy.
Oh, yes, james, Port Talbot is very picturesque!
Bright and sunny here today, lia - so stay away! (No, not really, come and visit any time!)
The new 2-year-old, leslie?
