and while you're down that neck of the woods go and see Barafundle Bay near Stackpole Quay - you have to walk along the cliff top - all grass and safe - to reach it, but boy, when you do get there, what a sight!!!!

The trick is to pack a hot water bottle, raincoat, woolie hats and gloves and be prepared to be cold and wet - this method has worked for me for over 30 years when we holiday/have a break in UK! Usually go early June and mid to late Sept.

I love Wales too.My partner is very tall but can get suits at the retail outlet near Bridgend. He needed one for an interview recently so we popped to Wales,from Sussex,to get.

We usually like to go up to the other shopping village in Ebbw Vale and get a bit of the valleys while we are there but it was so wet that day that we came straight back home.

So I was quite surprised to see Sunny Wales!

LOL Claire - have found out there is a farmers market every two weeks on a Friday at Haverfordwest- dont suppose you know when the last one was so I can work out if it will be there for us to nosey around?

Enjoy your beers!

If nobody has never visited and stayed in Wales they dont know what they are missing its a lovely place. Wouldn't mind retiring to Wales to be honest. xx

We did enjoy it Claire - cannot wait to tell all those friends who asked 'why are you going to Wales'. It was a litle bit of heaven. Decided about 10 years ago I had had enough of airports, the hassle do not want to know.
