I have had an operation on a cataract in my left eye, and the results are nothing short of miraculous. Contrast, saturation and detail, especially in back lit situations has improved greatly. The slow growth of cataracts means that you get used to the clouding and although you notice it, you learn to live with it.
We walked the Lleyn coastal path just a week after my operation and it was a revelation. It is a remote and beautiful coastline. Some of the beaches are four miles long and deserted. The hedgerows full of Red Campion and Mombrisha, and the variety of pebbles on one beach amazed me. The duality of Welsh and English languages on the peninsular is of interest to me as in some instances they can be seen to be in opposition.
This visit to the Lleyn has persuaded me to make a short film around Nefyn, and given me renewed vigour to pursue the residency on Epsom Common.
I only had my iPhone with me so I made some preliminary videos and stills, I include one from Porth Ysgo.
