There are lots of little places in West Wales that I haven't visited for many years having lived away for a long time, and many places that are still new to me. This little gem at Cresswell Quay, I have been meaning to visit for a while. I've seen the signs and kept it in mind so on this glorious Saturday morning I ventured there.
The drive as always when your visiting villages in Wales was in places a little worrying, hoping that no one would be driving towards me, and if they did, wondering how far I would have to reverse so that they could get by. I always find that I'm the one who reverses, other drivers don't seem too keen! But it was fine, I only had to reverse once and thankfully only 50 yards or so.
I sat and watched the water for a while, a family of ducks and a heron. What a treat. Then I walked a mile or so up towards Lawrenny. The birds flitted here and there, a young couple trying to encourage their young labrador to swim in the river who didn't seem at all keen to do so! The trees in full bloom, the dappling light ... all of nature's wonders as ever a sheer delight.
At the end of my walk, I walked into the Cresselly Arms and asked for a cup of coffee. They don't serve coffee! But the landlord offered to get me a mug of instant from their kitchen. I was grateful and it wasn't a bad mug of coffee, It hit the spot!
