ABC Wednesday and M is for ....

My My ... it is ABC Wednesday and M is for Mystery - Magic and More - and where better to tell the tale than in deepest Pembroke - Wales -UK. Wales renown for Mythical lore and Magnificent scenery and Marvellous days of neverending fun

My story is a Mix of pics - Mumblings and Madness - now down to Mundane Matters and Material things! - off we set a family group - and after 50 odd Miles the Motor developed a Mechanical faultand a Mobile call was Made to the Man who can - and after Many Moves and I Must say a few Moans from younger family Members we were relayed back to home base to Make fresh plans. Many hours later a late arrival was Made - a coastal cottage to be found down a long dark lane towards the Welsh coast - of course no torch to hand and the Sat Nav was claiming we had reached our destination - all was not lost - soon the house was found and the key under the flowerpot was retrieved.

The house looked out to the bay beyond and the sunny conservatory invited Many hours of day dreaming - book reading - and general chit chat

We walked daily - gazed at the scenery - strolled on the beach and people watched over a glass of wine outside the village pub

And then ... a stroll on the beach and around the rocky headland and an unfortunate Mishap for Bluey !! ended in a well timed escape for her and for me I suppose because I can't swim amd presume that she can! Anyone who has been to Little Haven will know the sandy stretch of beach and the rocky corner of boulders and pools reaching out onto golden sands stretching out to Broad Haven the next coastal village - where you can be lost in time- suddenly a call from OH - tides turned - earned a rapid response and a speedy return towards the headland - only to find that the rock pools were a ( best described as) a swirling mass of turbulent waters - so as I was wearing my best walking boots I tried to avoid the pools and kept to the rocks - calling for Bluey to follow and OH led the way - success! and then turning round I could see Bluey - head peering round the rocks - one ear up the other one down - head on one side seeming to say Help! I can't make it! ( she is a bit of a girl!)- we furiously shouted and bounced a ball - to no avail - OH said Oh she will follow - come on ( he had left his shoe bag at home and was wearing the only pair he had with him for the week ) -so I knew the next few minutes were crucial - so in I plunged best boot forward - and around the corner - over my knees in water - boots squelching - reached Bluey put on her lead and shouted encouragement - she refused to budge - so I gave an enormous tug - and in she plunged - we were now completely soaked - the pic above shows us just reaching dry land The wild flowers were amazing and I did so much want to post a collage but after several attempts I have given up - does anyone have any tips as to which site to use? if so I would so much appreciate any help available - so in the mean time I have posted my pics in the usual way
