In-Saundersfoot

 

I am very fortunate to live in a lovely part of Wales.  Saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire is situated in the South West of Wales and is a holiday resort facing East overlooking the sheltered Carmarthen Bay.

To find out more about this village a new web site is being constructed.  You can follow it's progress by visiting http://www.in-saundersfoot.co.uk .

Currently it has a long way to go and requires a lot of work and contributions on it's history, personal memories or any information on Saundersfoot.  As a visitor when a young child, perhaps a contribution from my memories may prove helpful.

Read About It!

Kindle or Paperback? Fad or the next must have?

We are all prone to them for they lure us in with all the wonderful advertising and promotional paraphernalia, that succeed in persuading us that not only is it the next best thing to sliced bread, but a must have gadget.

So I have been drawn into looking at the Kindle book available from Amazon, against my will I might add. As a lover of books I was certainly against the idea. Okay, I’ll be honest I was so set against them, the very thought gave me a shiver of distaste right down my spine.

I’m not fully won over and therefore not rushing out to buy one, however I do see some benefits. Going on holiday and being able to take innumerable reading matter, over and beyond what one could pack in a suitcase without weight penalties. Reading in bed or on the beach would certainly be easier and therefore a plus and certainly on public transport it would be of benefit.

On the other hand a paper book, crisp and clean, where the words enveloped within its jacket can be felt and almost smelt in the anticipation of opening to read its hidden contents. Okay, that is romanticising them a tad, for on the other hand, they then clutter up the place, gather dust and probably half don’t even get a second reading, because they can’t be found. I have to read a book at least twice! Otherwise why buy for you would be better off going to your local library.

I suppose the most important thing in relation to this, either or question, is that once you have the Amazon Kindle, you still have the choice as to whether to buy it in paper format or download onto the Kindle. I’ve kind of persuaded myself now, so I’ve put one on my wish list as very shortly I have a birthday coming up.

Further persuasion came from the reviews that people had left on Amazon as to the merits of the Kindle and as these reviews come from those who have purchased then I’d recommend that you too should that is if you are considering the purchase. Click the Amazon Kindle link and you’ll be able to get all the details.

Reading is good for mind, body and soul, whether, magazine, newspaper, literature, whatever, so I suppose how you read it is less important than the fact that you do read whatever you are reading, in whatever your chosen preference may be.

Bug Zapper

New Gadget


Whilst on holiday it was the chosen choice of the mosquito to nibble on M. This was fine by me, however retribution was sought by the one being eaten alive and awake all night wafting arms in the air. (Saved having to put the air con on!)

The nibbling only started about three days before we were due to leave and so I refused to purchase a spray can and pollute the atmosphere and poison the both of us in the process of killing a tiny gnat, allbeit a very nasty biting type of gnat.

We came across a similar product to this

and thereafter, having first swept the room, we at last slept at night.

Since being home it has become a new nightly routine to swat anything that moves, which includes me! Insects are important, so bees are excused along with spiders, but anything else inside our home is fair game!

Milk

Field of Cows

Sometimes we forget where the everyday things we take for granted come from.  Whilst out for a walk around the Stackpole headland we passed this splendid herd.

Cows Grazing or Just Lazing

Come to think of it, the life of a cow isn't too hard.  Wouldn't want to be without the milk they kindly produce though, so my thanks to the cows and the farmers who's work isn't anything but as easy.

Squirrel

I like visitors, well most of them, the ones with fluffy tails are much more welcome than those without!  When I arrived home from work the other day, this cheeky chappie was there to greet me.  Quite brazen in his willingness to pose for the camera too.

Some Saundersfoot Wildlife

Of course there are big debates as to whether the grey squirrel should be wiped out due to it outdoing the native red squirrel.  Don't you think we interfere and do enough harm to nature?  And besides, we still go to war over the planets resources, so who are we to judge if another species are also waging their own survival battles.

Lol

Internet, text talk whatever you want to call it, is so confusing.  lol in particular.  Being a romantic I thought it meant 'lots of love' turns out it means 'laugh out loud' or 'loads of laughs'.

'Laugh out loud' why then do people say 'lol' on the phone, why not just........ laugh out loud?  Duhhhh, it quite takes the humour away! lol x

Listen Hear

Blah, blah, blah “not here to say what you want to hear” said the PM yesterday on behalf of the populace.




Whereas, I only ever hear, what I want to hear!
