I am always drawn to the potential of an empty bench or a couple of empty chairs placed together. The art of fine conversation settles and thrives in this sort of location. We have spent the last few days engaged in fabulous conversations with friends old and new in Abersoch in North Wales.

Chatting is just the most enjoyable thing when it has no agenda or expectation. Sometimes so many conversations are had that the context or content get confused, but the important thing is that we had them.
