Pembrokeshire with Friends

1984: A Change of Scene with Friends

My second trip to Pembrokeshire came when I joined Suzanne, Elaine and Harry for a week in Suzanne's Mum's cottage. 

Drinking rosé in the sun of an afternoon, 

 coastal path walks and time on Marloes Sands,

visits to St David's and St Roch castle. 

It was worth getting "kippered" for!!

1986 (?)

There was another week there a couple of years later but all I can remember is that the smoking chimney had been fixed!

1966 All Grist to my Mill!

 1966: Spreading my Wings


My first visit was a week long Field Study course in Dale Fort as part of A Level studies. Travelled alone by train and met students from all over; one of them said he had thought I was one of the tutors on the course. Always did look older than my age! The fjords of Milford Haven, Viking traces in Solva and Skomer Island and making friends with Sue from Didcot were all part of the experience. No camera in those days; don't know why but the image that remains with me is of trees bent at 90° by the orientation of the wind. This photo comes from the Centre's site. It was obviously a week well spent as I got an A Level 'B' pass.
