The sun drenched early summer days continue here in St Davids so it was definitely shorts weather for our late afternoon walk yesterday. Great fun showing Carol and Fran around the city!

Glorious Whitsun weather here in St Davids and a great time to explore the city & the surrounding countryside. The cliffs are carpeted with flowers this time of year. These were snapped on the path between Whitesands beach and St Davids Head

There are so many wonderful photo opportunities on our walks so be sure to have your cameras & phones at the ready! This is the lovely view of the cathedral from Merivale.

A super-still evening at Newgale with the crescent moon and Venus just visible, along with the lights of the Duke of Edinburgh pub too!!

Lovely sunset turning the centre of St Davids gold and silhouetting the 14th Century cross.

It's worth keeping your eyes open when you're on the beach, as a hidden gem might just reveal itself! Here are some fossilised ripples in the sand - a moment in time captured many millions of years ago and revealed by the low sun

These Pembrokeshire folk get everywhere! Here's a statue of William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke in the quad of the Bodleian Library in Oxford. He founded Pembroke College in Oxford and was for a time Chancellor of the University of Oxford

Taking advantage of a sunny evening! The setting sun shines directly through an arch in the rock near Maes y Mynydd on the north coast of the St Davids peninsula

One of the beauties of the Pembrokeshire coast in Springtime is the amazing carpets of wildflowers that adorn the grassy banks of the cliff edges. The vivid pink of the thrift, the reds & whites of campion, the bright yellow celandines and the yellow/white of the ox eye daisies mix together to give a riot of colour. However, on a walk near Carn Penberi yesterday evening we came across a carpet of primroses too!

Not perhaps the most inspiring photo but this is the well that gives Quickwell Hill in St Davids its name. The Welsh name is Ffynnon y Cwcwll, which means hooded, or covered, well. When the houses in the Cathedral Close were first supplied with piped water (rather than drawing it from a well) this was the source apparently.

Had great fun showing these two cool dudes around the city. Both are graduates of Pembroke College in Oxford - good choice of academic institution guys! Hope you enjoyed your camping at Caerfai
