We arrived home to Yorkshire after a wonderful 2 weeks in Wales. Settling into our routine here, we've visited Trevor's mum who at 103 tells us stories from her past - jumbled and mixed up, for sure - but for us, this bonus amount of time that we spend with her, is priceless. One day I spent with my long time friend, Anne, who I met before we were even teenagers. Reconnecting a few years ago, we've enjoyed many happy hours together- finding that our interests ...

Our last few days in Wales During the last few days in Wales, we stayed closer to home - with the exception of a visit to St. Davids - the smallest city in the U.K. Due to its cathedral, city status was granted to St. Davids in 1995 by Queen Elizabeth II - but it's actually a small, attractive village. Set within Pembrokeshire Coast National Park the city is popular with tourists, artists and pilgrims. The cathedral was built on the site of a 6th century mona...

The end of our first week in Pembrokeshire A few days ago we ran out of time to see the walled, seaside town of Tenby......but we did make it there later this week.

The winding, cobbled streets are full of charming shops, cafes and pubs that lead to the old town and the harbour, from where cruises to nearby Caldey Island can be made. Fashionable with ...

Our first few days in Marloes and area:- After a few of days of travelling, we spent most of the weekend relaxing into our new home and getting to know the village of Marloes, our "home base" for the next 2 weeks. Marloes itself is a small village perched in the centre of the Marloes peninsula. This area is surrounded to the north, west and south by sea, with 10km of beautiful cliff scenery and beaches. The island of Skomer can be visited - by boat - from nea...
