Celebrated artist, Emma Cownie, suffers from PTSD which has resulted in her having limited physical and mental energy and not being able to do various items on her "bucket list" of things to do. In this book, she writes about how she decided to confront her limitations and tick off one of the items on her "bucket list"; to walk and paint the Gower coast. The Gower peninsula, in South West Wales, was Britain's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and it's beauty is revealed via photos and Emma's oil paintings which help document her walk around it's beautiful coast. Emma is also a Doctor of History and puts these advanced skills to good use in detailing episodes from Gower's rich and intriguing past. She also learns much about herself as she does Gower, of how knowing one's limitations can be an asset on life's journey too. Join Emma on this interesting and fulfilling walk, as she brings Gower's past to life, through beautiful images and words, through her gentle, dry wit and keen observation of life's eccentricities. Such is the clarity of her writing it will feel like you are walking the journey with her. A recommended read from a very entertaining and informative travel guide.
