This area explains a little about me and will allow you to filter some of the blog entries by categoryAbout Me
This blog is not written in the hope that anyone will find it interesting; it's a visual record of my life which I will be referring to it when I'm old and decrepit. I will not be swearing in my blogs in case my grandkids read it.
I am a graphic designer who lives in Pembrokeshire. I like living in Pembrokeshire because the landscape and culture allow me to do all the things I enjoy, surfing, biking, playing rugby, climbing and boozing with my mates..

Yes, well it was a good idea a few months back. This weekend i took part in the Tour of Pembrokeshire bike race. It was bloody wet, bloody windy and bloody cold, but ho-hum, it made the beer taste better after.

Skomer Island
02 June 2009
We took a trip to Skomer Island on one of the sunniest days of the year. Leaving St.Martins Haven at 12 o'clock we had 5 hours on the island. It was such a great day, chilling out in the sun watching Puffins, Seals and fat yanks.

Ye Olde Worlde Café
11 May 2009
In Bosherston exists the full-on best cafe in world. It's more like an open air tea-room with the finest tea being served. Those with a penchant for a tea-cake or a scone, your needs are also well catered for. This place is a sanctuary after a knobbling surf or an all day climbing epic. You may even be joined by the local wildlife for a bite. This little fella is a Chaffinch.

Super Saturday Swell

A good size swell hit us on Saturday. We managed to get three sessions in, two in the morning and one as the sun set. This great swell came in just at the right time as the nationals were being held in Freshwater West.

26 April 2009
Much of the cliff edge along Castlemartin has been fenced off due to high levels of erosion over the winter. Several key climbing spots round Bullslaughter bay and the St.Govans carpark have been affected. The lower photo shows the erosion by St.Govans carpark.
