Marge sat in a mizzle last night, we comforted ourselves by cooking sausages. Yes, don't they smell nice. Form an orderly queue at the window fellow campers. A full house last night, four of us in total. The much-needed rain continued through the night, pulsing onto Marge's roof, sometimes waking us. This morning the cloud low. We hoped the forecast for an improving picture was correct.
Fortunately, just after we arrived at St. Davids, Britain's smallest city the weather settled. Blue sky cracked through the rain clouds and the sun slowly appeared. Angela has visited St Davids before when she was a teenager. Her recollection of the visit was her mother leaving the bed and breakfast they were staying in still wearing her carpet slippers. A church service was taking place inside the cathedral, so we walked around the outside, the chords of the organ seeping out from under the thick wooden doors. A further fifteen-minute walk took us to St. Non's Head and the chapel where St. David was born.
The views along the coast were stunning. Caves and rock shattered crags beneath a baize of green wet from the earlier rain glinted in the sunshine.
Then we drove on to the burial chamber at Carey Sampson,
where we were rewarded with yet more stunning views along the Pembrokeshire
coast.
Tonight's stop is Goodwick, Fishguard. The car ferry sails from
here to Rosslare in south east Ireland. Tonight's sailing leaves at eleven
forty-five and we wish we could be on it. Ireland is on our list of places to
take Marge. We have our guide books ready, we just need to make time. Looks
like it'll be next year Marge. We have many other vans with us tonight from
Europe, and we think they will probably board tonight's vessel, at the same
time we are sure some of the vans arriving from Ireland will stay the night
here with us.
Tomorrow we must decide how much further up the west coast we will drive as we need to cross to the west soon to begin making our way back south. As for today, we've been distracted by one thing. The Women's England football team playing Germany. Thank god. What a result, our nerves were jangling. Well done girls.
