'Stones, the sea and the weather have moulded the look of Pembrokeshire. Man has merely scratched it's surface.'
(Vyvan Rees, South West Wales, 1965)
from 'The Pembrokshire Coast Path, (John Cleare)
I didn' appreciate growing up in this place until many years after I had left it. Now every time I return, it's always a little harder to leave it again! Pictures from our recent trip to Pembrokeshire, Wales.

| Newport beach, early evening. |
 |
| St Brynach's Church, Cym-yr-Eglwys |
 |
| The church was almost completely destroyed by a storm in 1859, in which 113 ships were also lost! |
 |
| Llys Y Fran Reservoir. |
 |
| A very old dwelling, originally probably housed a fishermans family. Couldn't help but remark the absence of window on the side of the cottage that over looked the sea! |
Yes, absence truly does make the heart grow fonder!

So cool your quote being by Vyvan Rees, my Rees family came from Wales in the 1700's. I would love to go for a visit. Also kind of funny, the nearest town to the farm is Pembroke :)
ReplyDeleteLove the early evening photo of Newport - what beautiful light x Jane
ReplyDeleteI too love to visit Pembrokeshire, it is beautiful I can understand how difficult it is to leave!
ReplyDeleteOh Emma, you grew up around such beauty. I bet it is hard to leave now that you are old enough to appreciate it.
