Day 3 – St Davids and shopping

55706D8D-A7C4-44B6-88D6-85A05FFE34D7


I say that like they are mutually exclusive which, let’s be honest, they’re absolutely not. Hit St Davids today now I’m mobile again. There were so many amazing craft shops. Managed to get some tee shirts so that drama is over and visited the cathedral. Benson as always was the star of the show. Loads of chats with inquisitive dog owners and admirers asking what breed he was. 

I also picked up a very expensive wool blanket. Not telling how much I paid for it but when you have to have it you simply have to! 😄

Day 3 – The tent expansion


Good gawd it absolutely chucked down last night. It rained so hard I could hear it through my ear plugs. It was still raining when I got up at 8am. Once it cleared I cracked open the additional awning I purchased and put it up. Don’t want to be dragging muddy boots into the lovely living room now do I?  

It makes the tent HUGE but is totally worth it. Like Bensons private space for when we need some me time 🤣🤣

Mental note. Make better lists!

I’m a huge fan of lists. Make them every time I’m going away. What tech to bring. Menu for the week. Shopping list.  But never clothes. Well wole up this morning to the shock realisation that I didn’t pack any t-shirts. Just the one i came in and my pjs. So today i spent all day walking around in my pyjama top. No one seemed to notice as I’m so stylish. Now I’ve got to go and buy some tees from the nearest shop.

Day 2 end of the balancing act

okay i admit that’s a shameless way to shoehorn in my balancing stones pic but pretty proud of my first attempt. I am officially a tree hugging crusty stone balancing hippy type now. Also got the car back which was a huge relief. Celebrated with pesto linguine with spiced olives and shaved parmazan. Ooooeee laaaaa deee daaaaa I’m such a fancy camper. Also drank about twelve bottles of budweiser….. oh well you only live once and all that. Plus my igloo coolbox keeps them nice and chilled.

Day 2 & operation tyre change

C45CFD04-35BE-470D-8C75-BC8559D7778C

So this is what i woke up to this morning. What a spectacle. Blue skies and the sea as calm as a mill pond. Made egg and bacon sandwich for breakfast on the campingaz grill (this is starting to sound like a product placement) boy I really do love that grill. 


So the whole purpose of getting up early was to get to the garage early so they could order my tyre. Told the chap to whatsapp me if he needed to ask for any approvals as there is no reception on the campsite (I quite like being off grid for a few days).  Anyway myself and Benson took to the coast path to check out the sights. Luckily so as we hit a 4G spot and I picked up a call from the garage (obvs didn’t understand my whatsapp request) … called him back and it looks like I will have the tyre before the end of the day. Relief stations as that means I am mobile again. I hate driving on the spare in case there is another puncture event. 

check out my coast walk gallery below. Beautiful walk for a few hours. Benson was exhausted.

Day 1 camping in Wales

B6FD376C-F6D8-49E2-86AB-3742DE7104F4

I’m not going to lie. Day 1 of my welsh camping adventure literally started with a bang! Well maybe more of a pop and a fizzle as I got a puncture about a mile from the campsite. Limped my way to the site and checked in. Put the tent up and called a garage to order a new tyre. DRAMA (to be said in a very gay welsh voice)

Luckily everything else went without a hitch (so far). Tent up and some smashing campsite cuisine prepared for the evening meal. Burgers and chips a la campingaz party grill. Who said camping had to be uncomfortable?  Okay there was one hitch. Air bed puncture…. For the love of Jehovah thats two in a row.
