Richard's Gardens

A record of my final year at university......and beyond

21 August 2006

Love Wales!



Just back from a camping holiday on the Pembrokeshire Coast - sounds awful doesn't it, but...it was great!

Stunning scenery (the cliff top treks from Whitesands Beach near St. David's) great views of wildlife (peregrine falcons, gannets and seals), good weather (most of the time) and fantastic gardens (The National Botanical Gardens and Aberglasney).

Loved the cities - Swansea for the Mumbles Mile, Gower Peninsula, Joe's Ice Cream, Clyne Gardens, The Kardomah Cafe (time warp heaven), No Sign Bar and the National Waterfront Museum, and Cardiff for the covered markets, Millennium Stadium (on time and on budget!), National Assembly and Wales Millennium Centre on the waterfront, and
.....'Chippy Alley' after last orders.

Really sad to be back......

    Sorry I didn't see you there, as I was also in Wales for a week! 3 days in the Brecon Beacons, and then 4 on the Gower Peninsula and thereabouts. We got lucky with the weather though and were leaving the day the rain came down. It is a beautiful place and I will be blogging as soon as the photos are back from the printers (got sick of the old digital photography and went old school- which I will put on disk)

    Glad you had a good time Richard! I haven't been to Wales for years, but you make it sound very appealing. Hope all is going well with you - your garden must be looking great if your pictures are anything to go by!
