The big 'kick-off' approaching fast now. Second week of August and spent great couple of days with friends Reena and Steve at their lovely cottage on North Pembs coast with fabulous view of Strumble Head and Irish Sea. Reena's daughter Celyn and our youngest Emma joined us. Sunny afternoon spent swimming in 'Blue Lagoon' and evening walking on coast path to Porthgain. Built up good thirst and appetite and felt we owed it to ourselves to call into The Sloop for Guinness, Felinfoel and some excellent fish before returning to cottage for wine and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks and a good night's kip. Next morning breakfast on the beach at Abereiddy cooked in the camper van - smashing bacon bap with black pudding. Top grub! Next up came Steve's tour of North Pembs, including John Knapp-Fisher's art gallery at Croesgoch and the unspoilt village of Llanwnda with breathtaking views out to sea, before lunch at cottage and farewells. Thanks R & S for your hospitality. We had super time. Currently counting down days to August 25 and first stage of tour in Vancouver.
