Today we headed off to Pembrokeshire planning to stop off at
Powys Castle. We had the AA directions
with us which estimated how long it would take to get to our cottage which was
just outside Fishguard. The traffic was
light and after just two hours we arrived at Powys Castle and we had our lunch
just outside it, laying out the picnic blanket as the ground was quite
damp. Inside, it was a very nice house
with some really nice gardens which looked almost Italian.
After our visit we got back on the road and on our way in
the direction of Fishguard. Although the
traffic was quite light all the way, the AA directions did not take into
account how windy the roads were, so a journey which they thought would take 16
minutes took us a whole hour to complete, and we still had around 40 minutes to
go (according to the AA that is…!).
Originally we planned to get there by around 6pm or just before – maybe
even 5:30! This would mean I would be
able to watch Strictly which started at 6……then I thought perhaps we would get
to the cottage at around 6:15 but we were still on our way at that point, and
eventually we reached the cottage – Jemima’s Cottage – at around 6:40. Our host showed us around and left us to it,
along with her little dog Nelly who was VERY friendly, jumping into the back
seat of the car to find out what goodies we had brought with us haha!! By the time we were unpacking our food, I
managed to watch the last 2 dances before it finished
L But we were able to watch Doctor Who of
course!
