Alan promised me a tour and boy, did he deliver. Sunday was rubbish. Rainy and blowing like stink so we stayed in and got to know each other a bit. Time very well spent as I now have two new friends in Britain. Supper is generally a light, evening meal and is the last meal of the day whilst dinner either earlier in the day or later is the main meal.
Alan cooked a leg of lamb with roast potatos and creamed leeks that was wonderful for lunch or dinner as it was both. FYI after converting kg to pounds and pounds to dollars, the lamb cost between 2/3 to 1/2 of what I would expect to see in the Massachusetts or Connecticut.
Monday & Tuesday we got to touring, in addition to St David’s.
First to a beach. The sand rock line is mean high tide but the car park is often flooded.
I thought these were some kind of shore defenses but they are lime kilns where lime is heated to produce potash which is used to boost agricultural soil. Once cooked it is loaded on boats
This was a defense against the French invasion that never happened in Pembroke Harbour, a grid planned town.
Most of Pembrokeshire seems to look like this. Can you say tranquil?
When we pulled over so I could get the last shot I noticed this old chapel and graveyard.
Again, not defense. The quarry behind this structure sent ground gravel down shoots to waiting boats
The lighthouse at Strumble Head
Melin Tregwynt Woolen Mill still going strong after 100+ years
