lockdown #2
In Welsh we have a saying: "Fe ddaw eto haul ar fryn" 🌄 . . "The sun will rise again over the hills" and shine over beautiful Cardigan bay. And when it does our welcome will be warmer than ever 🙏 . . Wales officially goes into full lockdown for 17 days from this Friday. Many people's half term plans are shattered but remember Wales will be there to enjoy again when it's safe to do so. . . #waleslockdown #firebreak #lockdown #covid19 #westwales #westisbest #wales #stayathome #visitwaleslater #mwnt #nationaltrust #mwntbeach #
Late summer sun
Making the most of the late summer sun at Poppit Sands. Almost exclusively ours today, so social distancing was very easy! Time spent in the sea works up quite an appetite, so a delicious lunch and an ice cream at the cafe at Poppit Sands was just the ticket.

Poppit Sands
Can't beat a pizza in the sunshine.
Finally made it to our lovely local pizzeria, the Pizza Tipi. We couldn't let the summer end without a trip there, and what a beautiful evening for beautiful food! www.troedyrhiw.co.uk #pizza #westwales #holidaycottages #selfcatering
Teifi evening sunshine.
Poppit Sands
Some late afternoon late summer sun as the beach was getting quieter...and colder too, when the sun went down! Kids and dog didn't care, but I'm not warmed up yet!
Dinner al fresco
Watching the sun go down.
Stunning colours
Crabbing. Bucket loads of free fun!
Crabbing 🦀 at Gwbert on Sea. The most fun you can have for free! We had a blast, caught around 40 little nippers, and then returned them all to sea, with tummies full of chicken!
Gwbert on Sea
Doggy Heaven!

Don’t fall in!

A quick paddle.
Beach Tour
Beauty spots just a stones throw from us here. Wales will be open to visitors again soon, and we promise you that it's worth the wait!
The Stables
Original stone steps on The Stables cottage. How many stories can these stones tell. Many, based on the initials carved in the stones…
Happy St David's Day
Today is the day that we celebrate our patron saint, David, here in Wales. Our national flower is the daffodil, and it also symbolises the beginning of Spring. I love this time of year when the days are getting brighter and new life and optimism is everywhere. A pair of frogs have arrived in our pond ready to spawn and fresh and green shoots are on the trees. We even managed a lovely chilly, sunny walk on the lanes today. What's not to love? It’s my very favourite time of the year!
We’re still here!
Phew, it’s been a windy February so far! Ciara and Dennis have made their mark on 2020 but luckily we have survived the storms relatively unscathed this year, and our thoughts go out to those who have not been so lucky. A sunny day today puts us in mind of spring and I find myself daring to dream about summer days at the beautiful beaches all around us here in West Wales. Bring on the longer days, we’re ready for them now!
C'mon Cymru!
Singing voices at the ready for the rugby here at Troedyrhiw today! Split allegiances, half Welsh, half English... Who will be happy at the end of today? St George, or the Dragon?!
New furbaby coming to join us soon!
So, after losing our beautiful Meg a few weeks ago, we have realised we don't want to be a family without a dog. Even the cats are missing her. We've trawled the puppy pages and found our new canine child, and she will hopefully be joining our clan on the 30th of March. Here she is, all we need now is to collect her, name her, and overcome the fact that our girls scream every time a dog that isn't Meg comes near them...! Wish us luck!
