Where to eat in Cardigan
If you are like me, then the meals, snacks and treats that you enjoy on holiday form a big part of the memories you take home with you, and Cardigan has no shortage of special places to help you create your own foodie memories of your holiday here. From ice cream, to fine cuisine, pizza in a tipi, Mexican street food and locally sourced sea food, Cardigan has a diverse menu on offer.
Around the cottages
The weather is being really lovely to us this week. We must have been ever so good! The daffodils are ìn full bloom now, bluebells are in the queue awaiting their turn to flower, the tadpoles have all hatched, and new life and summery sounds are everywhere! Even the butterflies are venturing out.
The low spring sun looks especially beautiful when it shines through the trees, casting stunning light and shade patterns in the fields, making our little valley look as pretty as a picture.
Where’s Wally (the walrus)?!
A new visitor to our shores has featured in the news recently, so we decided to combine a business trip to beautiful Tenby to check him out.
The giant walrus, affectionately named Wally, thought to be from the Arctic, has been making himself at home on the lifeboat slipway at Tenby and proving a great pull to bring the visitors back to Tenby after the long lockdown!
We popped down to say ‘Hi’ to Wally, and he was suitable underwhelmed by all the attention he was getting, preferring to just keep chilling!
The lifeboat crew have to make some noise to get him to move when they have a shout and when they’ve got out of his, he just gets back on to keep sunbathing!
The sun still shines
Finally, a beautiful frosty day in our little valley. Long overdue after weeks of rain, at a time where the last thing we need are grey skies, it put me in mind of one of my favourite Welsh sayings. “Daw haul eto ar fryn” or the sun will come again on the hills, is a beautiful and poetic sentiment for the world in which we find ourselves these last few months.
It's awful odd here these days without our lovely guests too share this beauty with, but we have to keep moving forward. As Annie says “the sun'll come out tomorrow". We hope….
