As the weather forecast promises cold weather coming in from Siberia over the next week, so my thoughts turn to holidays as a means of combating what might otherwise cause the gloom to settle. In particular they turn to the little cottage that we have booked for a week in August in one of my favourite areas, Pembrokeshire, which is in the South West corner of Wales. The cottage, which is surrounded by 180 acres of our own organic farmland and ancient oak woodland is on the upper reaches of a tidal estuary, making it very peaceful. Close to the towns of Haverfordwest and Milford Haven, Pembroke Castle is close by. There is a wonderful beach at Sandy Haven should we want to laze in our deck chairs and munch on sand-garnished sandwiches, and although the cottage appears to be in a slightly remote position, we will have the convenience of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and the theatre, within a few minutes drive.
All in all, nice warm thoughts for a somewhat cool day!
