Cuppa, Cake & Cracking view? NOPE just crap customer service!

If you've read my blog before you'll know that I'm quite a cheery and positive person but this blog is a little on the negative side.  So apologies for not being my usual self (and the fact this is a little dated as I've been a busy gal)

So, the story begins with being offered the chance to stay at the lovely Manorbier Bed & Breakfast just outside of Tenby on Valentines weekend (which I will point out at this stage is not the negativeness that I refer to... I'll be doing a separate blog for that one as it thoroughly deserves it - top notch)

Back to the story...left Swansea on the afternoon of Saturday 15th Feb (day after Valentines Day so still feeling a bit on the romantic side!!!) and headed down to Pembrokeshire...

Visit to the palace, wet & windy in Whitesands and Scrabble & Pool at The Farmers! (St. Davids Pembrokeshire PART 2)

So part 2 of my visit to St. Davids Pembrokeshire is a little late but felt an urge to update you lovely folk on this beautiful part of the country.  Now many of you maybe thinking this time of the year a little 'holiday' should only be in the sun drinking sangria and San Miguels but you really do need to consider the beauty of this country.
Our little trip to St. Davids most certainly took us out of our comfort zone and made us do things we certainly wouldn't consider doing at home and not typical of a holiday abroad.

Here is what the rest of our weekend entailed:

Cwtch Cottages 'Best Home' in St. Davids, Pembrokeshire!

Well, where do I start!  A lovely weekend in St.Davids Pembrokeshire and I must say a BIG THANKYOU to Rachael of Cwtch Cottages for letting us use her beautiful cottages.  I'm probably going to have to write a few blogs to cover our weekend, the things we did and places we went to.  Considering it was a 2 night stay and the weather was a little on the wet & windy side we still managed to squeeze in lots!

So, let's start with this cottage that I've been going on about... firstly, the word cottage has always suggested 'old fashioned' to me - which, don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with old fashioned but being a 'thirty something' a girl likes a few home luxuries, like a bit of Wi-fi to feed ye olde Facebook addiction!  How would I describe Cwtch Cottages?  Traditional, with a modern twist!  

Here is how our weekend started...

Suggestions needed for things to do in St.Davids, Pembrokeshire...

Well, I'm one very lucky lady!  I'm getting the chance to visit the lovely Cwtch Cottages in St.Davids Pembrokeshire this coming weekend.  What this means is that I get to put a pin in my map further west than I've done so before!  But here is my dilemma:  whereas before it would just be me and the other half, I now have 2 boys (7yrs & 14yrs) to keep entertained.    Therefore, sourcing out the best pubs and romantic walks ain't gonna go down so well on this trip!

So, I've consulted with Cwtch Cottage owner Rachael who has provided me with the following fab suggestions, however I'd still love to hear from those with recommendations for things to do within about 30 mins drive from St. Davids - remembering how much of a fan I am of CAKE ;-):

#NatsPhotoChallenge Days 8-15, intro to Flipagram & photo editing apps

It has to be said that I'm really quite enjoying this photo challenge as it's really prompting me to think about my social media activity every day, explore some photo editing apps and making think a little deeper about life too... very thankful for many things which I've captured in my summary for days 8-15 in this little Flipagram video (part 2)...

Tenby in the winter - absolute bliss! #Pembrokeshire

View from bedroom at Giltar Hotel, Tenby

 I really have to start this blog saying that I truly have the best job in the world!  I get to visit the most loveliest of places and feel truly blessed!  This week I've been lucky enough to spend a couple of days in South Pembrokeshire, and in particular Tenby!

Now most people would assume the Tenby is a summer town.  Don't get me wrong, the place is absolutely stunning when the warm sun is out but there is something beautiful about this place in the Winter.

We were lucky enough to stay in the well known Giltar Hotel overlooking South Beach!  The premier room we had was lush and the view was amazing - not to mention the standard of the rooms.  Absolutely love this place!   So here is why I think you should visit Tenby in the Winter....

#NatsPhotoChallenge Days 1-7

Well, that was easier than I thought!  Managed to get through the first week of my photo challenge without too much trouble... although it's always a bad sign when you struggle with the 'Something fun' theme!  Note to self:  Must work on doing more fun stuff!

So here is my Flipagram video with the first 7 days and introductions to the other gals taking part... pop back in a week for the next 7 days!  ENJOY!

#NatsPhotoChallenge please join me?

Well it's 2014 already and I'm sat here tutting to myself knowing that I've visited some fantastic places over the past 12 months and failed to blog on it.... :-( With the best intentions I took photos ready to blog but time simply got the better of me (and the fact that I found out that I'm expecting a baby and somehow ended up spending most of my time with a 7 year old from August onwards meant I visited more child friendly places - although I have a feeling my blog posts may change (watch this space for further info)!

Sooooo, I'm setting myself a challenge to get back into my blogging and would love you to join in too!  I'm going to do a 30 day Photo Challenge... here is how it will work and a lil confession as to why I'm doing too.....................
