Another completely bonkers, tongue-in-cheek spoof about the little Welsh seaside town of Tenby from a very funny writer. A tale of two would be cities.

Avengers And A Fidget-Free Sprog.
Had a very family filled day yesterday with LOADS of relatives calling, so I made a big batch of Welsh cakes on my griddle. They didn’t last long. They never do! I haven’t done any sketchbook drawings for about a week, so, having agreed to babysit a couple of small relations for the afternoon, weContinue reading “Avengers And A Fidget-Free Sprog.”
Metric mistake for Tenby
Metric mistake for Tenby. This is a new blogger who dips his pen in drollery to lampoon the hitherto innocuous little seaside town of Tenby. Sooooo funny…..
Senor Moment And Still Life
Well, I had my first encounter with Senor Moment today. I walked all the way through the city centre and started climbing the hill to visit my reflexologist and noticed my skirt looked a bit funny. I looked harder and saw that it’s hem was tucked into my tights! NOOOOOO! I haven’t done that sinceContinue reading “Senor Moment And Still Life”
Tenby, Nelson’s original resting place
Very droll commentary from a very tongue-in-cheek blogger. Why does royalty take a dim view of a little Welsh seaside town? Is this really the world’s first sarcastic statue? 🙂 Tenby, Nelson’s original resting place.
Posh And Tat In Tenby
Had a day off today and went to Tenby which is such a gorgeous little place. I love the way it’s a bonkers mix of complete tat and very posh. You can tell it’s posh because the pound shop is a one-pound-twenty shop ;). Right in the middle is the old section surrounded by theContinue reading “Posh And Tat In Tenby”
Birthday Books And French Breasts.
Another birthday! Woohoo! Husb gave me three excellent books first thing and then took me this evening for a gorgeous meal at PAs wine bar in Mumbles, one of our favourite restaurants. While we were waiting I sketched the Norman Oystermouth Castle, currently being renovated in the distance behind some of the little Victorian cottagesContinue reading “Birthday Books And French Breasts.”
Cockles And Icecream
Still babysitting and we took the two little ‘uns to the beach at Burryport today. It’s a funny little town which has been a bit rundown for many years, yet has a beautiful harbour with Georgian cottages, a lighthouse and a lovely beach. The car park had a coupke of vans selling seafood and icecreamContinue reading “Cockles And Icecream”
Sprogs And Curiosities
It’s been a varied holiday week, saying goodbye at the funeral of a teacher and mentor, Pat Briggs; saying hello to a new little great nephew, as yet unnamed but in the Welsh tradition already nicknamed, Ffredi [which is Welsh for Freddy :)] and two days babysitting small family sprogs. Not a lot of timeContinue reading “Sprogs And Curiosities”
Drawing A Drawing And Dylan’s Caff
I’ve not done much artwork the past couple of days, it’s holiday time and I’m trying not to fall into the trap of not taking time off, which is something a lot of self-employed people do. I had a lovely time with an old friend, lunch at Bizzie Lizzies and an afternoon pot of teaContinue reading “Drawing A Drawing And Dylan’s Caff”
