We've got so used to living next to water on Orkney that we really miss it when we're away. However the flat we're renting in Cardiff is a waterfront property, with a balcony no less, so we're not missing our watery outlook.
Here's the balcony
and here's the view from it.
There is a downside in that it's quite noisy, there's a train track just the other side of the bridge and the trains are quite frequent, and we're sleeping with the window open because the weather has been so warm. We're definitely not used to city noise any more. But all in all it's a nice flat and has made a good base for a bit of exploring in Cardiff. Although it has to be said that as the OH has been working quite a lot and I've been revising for my written Gaelic test, slightly less intimidating than the oral exam, although possibly not by much, our down time has been limited. A bout of sunstroke didn't help me much yesterday either. I didn't bring a sunhat to Wales for goodness sake! Although obviously I should have.
