Harriet's Walk

Harriet decided that she wanted to take us for a walk.

We first had to drive to the Preseli Hills

There is a lot of argument as to whether they are 'hills'

or 'mountains'

I'm reminded of the film...

'The Man who went up a Hill but came down a Mountain' with Hugh Grant

It's quite funny if you haven't seen it!

The road wound round and down into a valley with the prettiest little stream.....

which meandered

under the road and out the other side



We parked and started our walk

We could see the village of Ponfaen

and......

.......as we walked

we could see one of the village churches

on the opposite side of the valley

The  path was very muddy after the recent rain

but still a delight to walk

Harriet, meanwhile, was still looking for the best way for us to go!

Unfortunately she took her guide duties too seriously

and disappeared

up the hill for at least half an hour

so we had to restrain her excitement at showing us around!

"Is this another route....

 or should we stay on this path?"



As we turned for home we had another view of the village

and the house

with the slates covered in cement

...which is quite typical on older Pembrokeshire properties.  It protects against the elements

On both journeys

we passed some old farm buildings.

I have included them as I kmow that a lot of people like them

Harry thinks that's a job well done.....no wonder she looks pleased with herself!
