Pembrokeshire - 7 mile coastal walk

So I completed a 7 mile walk along the Pembrokeshire coast today. Not bad for a Monday and certainly not bad for a girl who had chemo on Friday. Go me!!
My energy levels were surprisingly good and the route from St Justinian to Caerfai, St Nons and to St David's was delightful.

Along the way, we saw seals chilling out in the sea although having overdosed on them in California, I was over all the belly baring and backstroke from the attention seeking so and so's; there were also horses, a peregrine falcon hovering in the wind thermals, wonderful fauna and of course the spectacular Welsh coastline.

After the shit-storm that has been my life the last few months, this is a good break to have. We are staying in the cottage chalet we 'won' last year at a charity auction we took part in. It's in Nolton Haven which is next to middle of bumblef&ck. Seriously, it's so quiet here I can hear my own bones rattling. It's lovely though and a good place to gather your thoughts...

Pembrokeshire itself so far is stunning. Very unspoilt and the people we have met are friendly. There are lots activity centres here too so plenty of kayak wielding people, hard hats and activity wear on show. Obviously, I fit right in.
Tomorrow we are hoping to see puffins on Skomer island so expect lots of photos.
