A Birthday Walk

Yes, today is my birthday - I am as old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth! - sorry about that, it was a much used quote of my Dad's.

Again, the weather has been wonderful and today we went to Tenby. The harbour and Prince Albert's statue were looking lovely in the sunshine.
~
The harbour looked quite different with the sunlight reflecting on the snow which is still very evident. Tenby had the heaviest snowfall in our area.
~
Then, down on to the Town Beach. It is a very big beach and was exposed by the very low tides we seem to have encountered every walk this week. There were actually quite a lot of folk about, although it doesn't look like it here. It was interesting to get a different perspective of all the hotels along the esplanade.
~
St Catherine's Island and Fortress - which you can find out about here.
It has also been a zoo in the past but is now derelict.
~
Walking towards South Beach which is a continuation of Town Beach and you can see the snow which is still there on the tide line.

Sea patterns in the sand.
~
There had been quite a lot of people about.

I am looking forward in going for a walk - the snow has prevented it as Freida doesn't like the snow. Apparantly the grit used by the trucks contains harmful chemicals which harm the dogs when they lick it off.
