I've been a Duranie now for 45 years. I stuck with them even through their lean years. A great tribute to the guys to have Royal Mail produce stamp sets.

I've been waiting for the James Hunt collection to come out so I could order some goodies. The only trouble is Racing Spirit only delivers in Italy & Europe. Bloody brexiteer wankers.

This needs to be filmed in the uk and shown on all 5 terrestrial channels.
We loved this so much we just had to put English subtitles on it, apologies to the French speakers for our translation. But this is what it would look like here in the UK if Farage or Lowe or another of their ilk got their own way.

And in one act the UK has just slid that little closer to the dumbness of the US.
Wow! I had to check this wasn't posted on April 1st. It seems that the mad conspiracy theorists have hit a new peak 🤦‍♂️

Just to reassure everyone: traffic lights aren't deadly weapons. They actually help keep people safe. 🚦🚦🚦

This is the monument to Grace Darling at St. Aidan's Church. A daughter of a lighthouse keeper. She became a national figure when at 22 years of age she rowed out with her father in a coble boat in a violent storm to rescue 9 survivors of the SS Forfarshire in 1838. Awarded the Silver Medal by RNLI

I've had a lovely final wander around Pembrokeshire today. Carew Castle, Lamphey Bishop's Palace and the breathtakingly beautiful Barafundle Bay. It's safe to say I've fallen for the place. Going to miss it.

A busy day getting in as much as I can of South Wales before I head off home via Ludlow on Saturday. Today was Abergwili Steam Railway, Carmarthen Museum and Dinefwr Castle in the grounds of Newton House & Deer Park.

After a rainy start it brightened up around dinner time so headed out on foot to Pembroke Castle. Wow! What an amazing place. Spent a good 4 hours just wandering about. It rained for a quarter of an or so but being a Yorkshire lad, I'm used to it.

Nice day out at Kidwelly and Llansteffan Castles. The view from the top of one of the Towers at Kidwelly was stunning. Llansteffan is basically a husk, worth it for the views though.

A nice run out today of the stunning Manorbier beach and castle, Tenby and Laugharne.

Holiday reading. I got in at ground level with these novels. A brilliant piece of escapism.

So, down in Pembroke for the week. The place I'm staying in is literally 15 minutes walk away from Pembroke Castle. Toppo.
