Let's go cwm-doooonnnnkin!

We've been doing the rounds of Swansea parks lately, combining visits to the midwife (for Nuora obviously) with a trip out in the sunshine. First it was Singleton then Brynmill and yesterday Cwmdonkin.

Dylan Thomas who lived just down the road from Cwmdonkin Park played there as a boy and used it as the setting for a poem, The Hunchback in the Park. His memory is celebrated with an engraved rock and this bust.
On a beautiful November day the park was still clothed in its autumnal best.

The park, which is in a wonderful location high on the hill over-looking the bay, is very popular with dog-walkers and children who enjoy the playground and not-so-young ones who love the zip slide.

Lovely, lovely foliage. The audio caries the message of the video: fun!
