Summer weather in 2008 has been a bit variable so far
(July) but Jean and I took a couple of days break down in west Wales;
Newport Dyfed to be precise. It's always been one of my favourite Welsh
places: on the Pembrokeshire coastal path, good shops, quirky villages,
peaceful bays and coves, and, best of all, Cnapan, a restaurant with
rooms as it describes itself.
Mike and Judy always make us welcome and
produce magical food.
En route, we track down a well hidden nursery, in the
middle of nowhere but full of bright pots, plants and flowers for the
discerning gardener: Jean, my wife.
Everything from gooseberries to
Gunerra's!
an interesting home made wooden
handcart.
Lots for the photographer to get his
lens into...
BBC were there filming for Gardeners World.
A few miles later on as we crossed the
Preseli Hills, I saw this characterful hut made out of corrugated iron.
And then we came across the Tafarn Sinc.
A pub made out of corrugated iron as a hotel for the builders of the
railway in the 19th century.
It's in the eclectic village of
Rosebush.
...with its own brew beer and sawdust strewn floors,
it has oodles of character.
