It was one of those glorious Autumn days
and a friend
picked me up to go out for lunch
After a lot of discussion about wind direction
(there was a very cold strong wind!)
we decided on
the beautiful little village of Solva.
The tide was out, exposing the seaweed and stones,
but that still didn't spoil its beauty!
We walked along the path, beside the inlet,
and looked back at the village
Other people
were taking advantage of the sunny day
to walk with their dogs
or examine the underside of their boats.....
I love the silver of the water on the sand
and the boats waiting patiently
for the waves to lap around them and lift them
up so that they can dance again!
My friend loved the deep V's
that the waves have
cut in the rocks
We went into the Boathouse for lunch.
This is our view
as we sat outside in the sun eating our baguettes
I love the bright, cheery colours!
I so enjoyed my trip to Solva in the sun!
You've been lucky to get some sunshine today! We've been under a blanket of dampness and grey skies all day. Glad you had a good time. Jx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, once again evoking lovely memories for me of past visits. We have had a grey rainy day here. Anne x
ReplyDeleteIt looks strange with all the boats sitting on ground. I too love the colorful buildings. Smiles, Susie

ReplyDeleteHappy you are getting a chance to be "out and about" as we say here in the states. Nice pictures of the tide out. Strange to see the sail boats sitting there in the ground with tide out , , .

ReplyDeleteWhether the tide is in or out Solva is the most beautiful little village in the most beautiful part of Wales, dare I say the world. I love all the little craft shops in the high street.

We love Solva too. It was always one of our favourite places to visit. We have a lovely Chris Neale print of the cottages above Solva looking into the bay. X
ReplyDeleteLove seeing all those sailboats. What a pretty place!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day. I've never seen boats sitting like that when the tide has gone out. Very interesting and beautiful! Sounds like you are doing well. Take care! Tammy
ReplyDeleteJust came upon your blog on my blog hopping journeys. It's great to see your photos of Wales--such a picturesque corner of the world. I live on Canada's west coast and have never been there but that's where my maternal grandfather came from. Not sure where though. I'd love to visit some day.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed your trip to Solva too. I have told you this before but I think you live in the most beautiful place. I can tell all is well with you. Great photos I love the tide out ones. B
ReplyDeleteLoving the splashes of red in your photos Joan. Thank you for sharing at Rural Thursdays this week. xo
