2010 June Home Page


The weather is cool and very windy.

Clive's back is still bad so no driving today. We decided that it would be walking only so we had a gentle stroll down to Solva Quay. When we got there it was low tide as the photo's show - so no boats are going anywhere currently.

We did some tourist shopping and then back to the Inn for some Pizza for lunch. We ate nearly all of it but again it was such a large meal. Gai decided that I needed a rest so upstairs while I had a good sleep and Gai read her book. At 5PM we went back down to the Quay as high tide was at 5.30. It was now full of water and looked totally different.

We would liked to have done a water cruise but with Clive's back it wasn't worth the risk. Walking back we went past the Inn to see some of the houses there and then sat at the junction watching the traffic go past. Maybe we need to get a life. It's amazing how much traffic there was going through this little village. After tea we spent more time talking with the owner. She has had a very interesting life !.

In the 1800's Solva Quay had an amazing history of people leaving here for the 4 pound trip to the United States.
