April...ing

I've been neglecting the blog recently.  So time for an April catch up. Here's what I've been doing.

Visiting an exhibition of mosaic art called Constellations in Chester Cathedral.  The hanging piece above was made up of tiny mosaics in bottle tops.

Holidaying in South Wales.  We stayed in Saundersfoot near Tenby.  The weather was a bit mixed as you can see from the pictures below.  Lots of walking on beaches and up hills. The walk from the village to our holiday home was pretty steep.

One day we went to Pendine Beach (below) which is 7 miles long and the location for world land speed record attempts.  We thought it would be a good walk for Alfie.  What we didn't discover until we got there is the Ministry of Defence own the beach and access is restricted to a small section near the car park.  When we strayed too far along the beach a disembodied voice which I think came from our phones told us not to cross the line. Big Brother is watching you!. 

We also had a day in Tenby, a very pretty seaside town with more beautiful beaches. 

Saundersfoot was full of wild flowers.  The verges were covered in primroses and we found violets and wood anemones on our walks.

In the town centre park hundreds of daffodils were used to create the Ukrainian flag.  I have mixed feelings about the rash of blue and yellow flags around the country.  I suppose it shows support but then it's a bit of a futile gesture.  Like Pritti Patel wearing a yellow and blue ribbon in her lapel while making it near impossible for Ukrainian refugees to get a visa.

Celebrating Easter and eating chocolate with Kate who returned here for the holidays. It wasn’t much of a holiday for her though as she had an assignment to complete for her course and is also busy applying for teaching jobs. 

That’s it for this month.
