Pembrokeshire Camping
We spent the past weekend camping near Newgale, Pembrokeshire:

Sand, sunshine and seaweed |

Circling the wagons |
Can anyone else see a lady in an elegant dress in this toilet stone slab? |
Mrs E also took a great group pic and also did some timelapse vids - see below:

Bog Plants & Pen Inspection
We found a parcel waiting for us this morning from Hampshire Carnivorous Plants. They literally brought our bathroom windowsill to life:
It has been a bit of a hectic week at work. My application for a new job has landed me an interview next week, so I have at least a glimmer of hope for a fresh start. Whilst it is great news that I have the chance for a new work position, it makes for a stressful weekend as I prepare for the forthcoming interview. Whilst the written word presents me at my best, interviews tend to present me at my worst due to my anxiety/
Anyway, time to get my head down. I'll end this post with a short video I took of little fudjcat being introduced to my new pen lol:

The Morning After
A sun-soaked morning forces me and the pwscat from bed to face the day... Can't face work today.
My reward for taking the day off? This cracking thunderstorm:

Bank Holiday Monday
A lovely Sunday morning saw us out in the garden. Even Fudge joined us, her first time outside since the fire. She was a little nervous and stuck close to us, but she enjoyed her time in the new garden:
A rare pic of Fudge with Monty:
The light in our temporary home is gorgeous. I think I'm starting to fall in love with the place.

A Walk Through Llanrhidian
Friday, 05 April, 2024
I took a stroll around Llanrhidian this afternoon and harvested a view images of the experience with you:
The remains of a Celtic Cross on the village green |
Celtic Cross remains with Llanrhidian Church in background |
Another, more ancient Standing Stone on the village green |
Llanrhidian Church dates from Medieval times |
The two embedded stones in the church gatepost are supposedly cursed and were once part of a more ancient graveyard located next to the caravan site where we're staying |
This huge and mysterious slab of etched rock was dug in in the grounds of the graveyard |
The interior of Llanrhidian Church |
Llanrhidian's 2 pubs, the Welcome to Town and The Dolphin Inn |
An incredible convoluted rock used in a wall of a Llanrhidian garden |
The remains of Llanrhidian Mill |
The previous night's storm is recorded in the village telegraph wires |
This spot caught my eye - to the degree where I also took a short short video |
A very short video, that is well worth watching to the end:
Weobley Castle |
Sheep chilling beneath the Iron Iage Earth Fort ofCilifor Top |
Another, more distant shot of Cilifor Top |
Heading back to the caravan, I met another site cat, as well as seeing the more familiar black moggy:
