remember to lean in to the wind

it’s a shame more places don’t go for the crazy wall colours which only seems to happen at the seaside.  perhaps inspired by the plastic buckets and spades they see go by every day

this is the quay at tenby

and this is the (old?) lifeboat launch thingybob.  we found out on our last day that they do their practising on a tuesday evening so that would have been a good time to have gone to watch something happen.  but we didn’t.

in the afternoon we went to saundersfoot where the girls sat on the beach when i went in search of art works and found some art (and a beer on a cliff top vantage point)

pembroke08 day 2 was a windy day.  we went to stackpole quay and walked round to the magical barafundle beach.

to get to the beach you have to walk over the coastal path

despite the bright colours (i’ll admit i’ve souped them a bit in lightroom) it was right chilly

when you get there you have to go down a long set of steps to reach the beach, but it’s totally worth it.

this was the one day when we didn’t have my little hidey beach tent (i don’t like sand)

day 1 the journey to wales

right, i’m going to attempt to give you a bit of a diary of our last fortnight in wales over the next few days.  we’ll see how it goes.

this is the severn bridge marking the gateway to wales.  it’s a toll – cash only.  note the rain

holiday house disappointment

i’ll write much more about our disappointing holiday house called Bramble Hall .  Needless to say this is not a particularly accurate description: “A lovely, detached house, wonderfully situated on the owner’s working
agricultural farm, in the fabulous, medieval town of Pembroke.”
  But more about that later !

for now here is a container thing which i guess must be used to sell christmas trees in season
