Journey From The Middle

Coronation fever is everywhere. There were lots of flags and interesting window decorations.

Puffins!!!!! We went to Skomer island to see the Puffins and indeed we did! These quirky little birds kept us entertained as they ran from burrow to burrow, took off and flew (at 700 beats per min) around and then crash landed in the most awkward way. A fabulous day out.

We had a lovely evening chatting to other van travellers at our park up at Little Haven.

Today we walked the Angel peninsular coastal trail. The scenery was beautiful and the trail was undulating and sometimes a bit arduous. We thought it would be much shorter however, we ended up walking a 20km circuit. Spring has certainly sprung in Wales with seaside daisies, bluebells and numerous other flowers decorating the pathway and surrounding hills. As we headed back to the van we saw a big gate that seemingly went no-where. A friendly local informed us it was once part of a vast estate and was called The Green Gate although it has not been painted green in over thirty years.

We decided to do the coastal walk today and inadvertently ended up walking 20km. At we start of our hike we saw Dobby’s Grave (from Harry Potter. It was a cross laiden with socks and many colourful stones with heart felt sentiments written on them.

On a dismal day we visited the colourful town of Tenby. On a clear day I would think it would be quite spectacular. We wandered around the streets and alley ways in the rain until we returned to Brissie.

We spent a lovely evening by the canal at Saul Junction watching the world go by and the colours change. We met a guy called Smudge and he showed us through his long boat. It was so cool to see how much room was inside. He was a real character and had plenty of good information to share with us. He also had a shark fin he would sometimes tow behind his boat for a bit of a laugh.

We have fixed the problem with the knock sensors but not our water heater. Hopefully it wont take too long.

Hopefully we can get the van fixed and we can hit the road.

The airport was empty due to covid travel restrictions. We were thankful to be on our way.
