You're a long...Hi there Shady - small world eh? You're a long way from home now! I thought the beach needed a good tidy up too. When we used to take our (now grown) children down there, I am sure they used to keep the beach tidy - I seem to remember a big tractor or something trundling up and down (or was that Pendine?) <br /><br />Pat - I tried one - sweet and sour together I think I'd describe it. Certainly a very different flavour to garden fruits.<br /><br />Pattypan - I think the Rangers might have taken a dim view of me advancing on the bushes (plenty of them though there were) with my secateurs! I will have to find them growing outside of the Country Park. Thanks for the tip about the jelly and cordial.<br /><br />Simon - cockle picking is still taking place around the Welsh coasts, though I noticed that the Llanstephan (and presumably Ferryside) cockle beds are now closed for the winter.<br /><br />Rambler - rainy and miserable this morning, so you could well be right!<br /><br />Dawn - there is a lot along the shoreline which can make a meal, whether it's trotting about wearing a shell or growing. You will love Pembrey and when your daughter and the smalls visit again, lots of room for them to hurtle about and a good childrens' play area.<br /><br />Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-13531116871274524942015-11-03T14:54:29.696-08:002015-11-03T14:54:29.696-08:00Thanks for the photos of Pembrey and the memories ...Thanks for the photos of Pembrey and the memories they evoke. I lived in Trimsaran in the sixties as a young teenager.<br />What a pity the park doesn't have a volunteer group that could organize a clean up.shadypinesqltrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755180453538893117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-45506670099192475232015-11-03T11:15:35.234-08:002015-11-03T11:15:35.234-08:00Ah one of my favourite poems and also one of the m...Ah one of my favourite poems and also one of the most beautiful parts of the coast and good weather to boot. We have had lingering cold damp fog for the past couple of days been a bit clearer today but still bone chilling. The Sea Buckthorn is tart and delicious all at the same time. Its best to make a cordial with it - I tried jelly and the set was not good so if you did make sure you use sugar with pectin or add additional pectin. Very nice for a wild Kir on Christmas Day. I also found that the easiest way to harvest them is either cutting the branches and bringing them home and then using tweezers to pick the berries (there are very sharp thorns in between). Sadly there were not enough berries this way to harvest, Hopefully next year.<br /><br />Good photo of your OH - what a beautiful day.<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />x<br />Pattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-91355395810486292782015-11-03T11:09:35.284-08:002015-11-03T11:09:35.284-08:00Those sea buckthorn berries are the most beautiful...Those sea buckthorn berries are the most beautiful colour - would love to know what they taste like.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-19366572252207831132015-11-03T06:34:05.824-08:002015-11-03T06:34:05.824-08:00My Auntie Maida lived at Johnston, near Milford Ha...My Auntie Maida lived at Johnston, near Milford Haven.

We currently have fog - thick fog - and it's several degrees cooler. But it is November after all and the sunshine was much appreciated. <br />I hate to see all the rubbish on our beaches, whether left behind by visitors or discarded at sea; we have the same problem here in Cornwall.Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-64127101298157287502015-11-03T01:48:02.793-08:002015-11-03T01:48:02.793-08:00We have yet to visit Pembery, but will at some poi...We have yet to visit Pembery, but will at some point, I love the wreck fascinating, I remeber cooking up some sea beet with mussels on the beach lovely it was too :-) Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.com
