tenby

esther and i spent an hour doing a multi-cache geocache which involved finding clues round the town which when combined would reveal the final location

and then we went back to the beach for a while before i went on a photo walk of the twon which looked very nice in the sun

do they sell special seaside building paint somewhere or agree to use different colours ?

“i was going to have fluorescent purple this year, but marjorie has that”

here was a rare outing for my polariser (hence the dark sky)

meanwhile, back at the beach things were getting busy

jane buried esther

and a bit later she went to look a the sea (i think the girls must have been playing in the sea by then)

jane’s parents popped by too (it’s a bit where-wally today isn’t it)

this is a canon.  there’s a lot of that at the seaside to calm the seagulls

and this is what it looked like first thing in the morning when we arrived.

i went photoing whilst the girls played on the beach.  i arrived back just in time for a massive rain shower which completely soaked everything.  amazing it was.  but before we abandoned the beach the girls demanded a photo in their boat

you can see the little tent where i hide when on the beach above to avoid the sand.

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)
