    I proposed to my wife on Aberavon beach, it was a cold ish October back in 2015, some say I was crazy lol

      Crazy for getting married or for proposing in Aberavon. I'm just as bad as I proposed on Blackpool North pier, if you squinted, it looked a bit like Paris with the tower in the background!

    The colours that you got on the beach were incredible! Inspired me to take the fiancée to Franco’s next weekend. Been meaning to go on a walk around the Baglan/Briton/Ferry Neath/Port Talbot areas for a while now. If you’re heading down here soon, let me know if I can be of assistance in any way.

    • @flydriveexplore

      I'm gong to go back to do the walk along the beach to the River Neath. It's amazing what you can capture with just the phone camera.

    We just took the kids down to Southerndown this afternoon which was very busy. Dunraven afterwards which wasn’t too bad. Looks like we chose the wrong beach today, it looked lovely there. ☹️ Those beans though 😳😳😳

    • @flydriveexplore
      @flydriveexplore  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      This was filmed last week and not on the weekend so that's why it was probably quieter. Saying that, when the tides out it's a massive beach. Can't be having lukewarm beans!

    Not allowed in fish'n chippies these days (groan!) But couldn't go near one without remembering Philip Madoc's classic:
    'I don't like soggy chips. I like zem crisp undt light braun'.
    Remember Dad's Army.

    funny, we call them "fish n chips", but not fish n fries, but if we have a burger, we don't say burger n chips. ?

      The classic Chips or Fries conundrum!
      When we do use the term fries they are the usually long thin type of chip.
