Friday 24th May 2002

Place: Solva, St David, Newgale
Weather: Sunny and very, very windy

On the way to Solva we stopped off at Newgale and watched the wind and waves. Two men were having a kitesurfing lesson but the small kite didn't stay up for long before it plunged into the sea.

Solva had a few nice shops but it didn't take long before we'd walked round all four of them. I bought Mum and Dad some clear Pembrokeshire honey as a holiday present. We stood for a while, angled into the wind, to look at the gorgeous harbour and half ruined lime kilns but even still the wind would knock us off our feet.

Onwards to St Davids city. We bought some books in the National Trust shop and had jumbo battered sausage and chips for dinner. We finished walking round and drove back to NEwgale. There we sat and watched the white, churned up sea and the spray continuously getting flung over us until we could barely see out the front windscreen for dried on salt. SImon slept for a little while and I read a bit of 'The Organic MEat Cookbook'.

I was disappointed to hear our boat trip has been cancelled due to the high winds. I Hope I will be able to go on it one day.

Simon has promised to carve me his own version of a love spoon.

To finish off the day, we drove down to Broad Haven, walked along the beach and photographed the sunset.
