Pembrey 31 Mar 2013

Zetta led us on a fabulous walk on the first day of spring, and very kindly supplied chocolate eggs:)

The walk started at Pembrey Country Park, past St Illtyd's Church and on through fields and forests, Ffwrd Farm nature reserve with fabulous views across to Kidwelly and beyond, and back to Gower.

Sadly my photos clearly show the need for a new camera - dust inside the lens has not responded to my vigorous attempts to shift it, and is causing unsightly blotches in otherwise clear blue skies!
