I pretty much started this blog years ago with tales of a stay in St.Davids. We've been back many times, have thoughts of living there one day, and plans to have our ashes 'let free' on a particular headland overlooking Ramsey Sound.
We alternate sometimes between staying at Caerfai Bay campsite, and just rocking up for the night at the waters edge in Whitesands car park. We have spent many a night at the latter over the years, Nights of storms, waves and winds. Other nights as still as can be and beautiful star lit skies.
We spend most of our time just parked up there. Staring out at the view, reading, drinking tea, walking along the beach and taking another 200 photos that are just the same as previous years. The sunsets are breath taking.
There is a depth of feeling that comes from sometimes being the only people staying overnight, on a stormy night, totally isolated, or being alongside other likeminded nomads. Rastas in dodgy vans, couples in full conversions, single women with beautiful vans just escaping. You name them, we have met them, and every single time it's been not just good, but extraordinary.
Again, we saw seals and their pups, isolated but safe in deep coves. Prayed in St.Nons Chapel, talked to the funny 'librarian' in the cathedral, ate wonderful breakfasts in the van. Walked for miles on the coast path. A real time of escape.
One of the many local galleries we discovered, one we haven't been to before. A hand written sign a couple of miles away just said 'Art and Shellfish'.
Had to follow that one, and happened upon this place. in the middle of nowhere. Quite weird. Came away with handmade Christmas stockings and a dressed lobster, but on this occasion not a painting......as you do. all wonderful.
Have a wonderful week
