Life in the slow lane

I took two ladies with me on the trip out yesterday and I discovered their pace was significantly slower than mine! I was just glad it was a quiet road we had to walk across or it would have been terrifying.

It probably did me good to 'slow down and smell the estuary' as I have a habit of charging round but I couldn't do it too often. 

In the boathouse at Laugharne there was a domed exhibition. A craft group called Itchy Fingers made this amazing representation of Llareggub, the village featured in Under Milk Wood, using craft materials and found items. 
The detail was amazing.

P.S. If you haven't before do try reading Llareggub backwards.

A charming miniature recreation! And I did not know that fact about reading Llareggub backwards, LOL! Oh, that wag!

The backwards reading became clear the minute you saw it. I remember prim BBC presenters trying to say it thinking it was some genuine Welsh name. Little sneaky joke by Thomas. Irreverent to the end.
