Snapshots from Tenby

A few weeks ago, Sunny and I did a bit of a road trip out west to Pembrokeshire to see the puffins on Skomer Island and decided to make a little pit-stop in Tenby.  I totally forgot how pretty Tenby is!  From the painted Georgian Townhouses, massive harbour and beautiful sandy beach – it’s kind of criminal that I don’t head down there more often!

It’s absolutely crazy that Tenby is less than two hours away by car from Cardiff (…a little less if the roads aren’t bad around Carmarthen and you don’t get stuck behind any coach-trippers), and yet, the last time I went down there was on a Brownie Pack Holiday (as a Brownie, I might add – it was that long ago).  We stayed in this massive guest house around Castle Rock, wore jelly shoes to explore rock pools on South Beach, and made kites out of plastic bags from the local spar and a couple of sticks (these were the days before Pinterest, you know).  They didn’t work – surprise, surprise.

Thanks for reminding us what a beautiful place Tenby is, with its quaint Victorian charm. Tenby here we come. Great artistic photos.

Oh no! The puffins are tiny and so cute – you don’t get dive-bombed by the birds or anything – so you should be okay! Mind you, if you’re really not a bird fan then take a trip there in September when the seals are having their pups – most of the birds are gone by then! 🙂
