The Blue Lagoon

thats a lovely blog thanks kasy, i have the music on now, lovely clear voice and i like the guitar

the photos are beautiful, its a really lovely place! love the slate, the lagoon, the little purple wild flower and the promise of a beach in the distance

Good to see a nice long blog from you kasy, looks like you had a nice break in a lovely place : )

Thats Fool's Gold in the piece of slate you picked up -
Iron Pyrities ( ? spelling) Would look good on a trough garden.

Beautiful! And very interesting. :o)

Got so many nice pictures from my holidays this year. Hope to have bit more time in winter so I can do few more blogs and share them with you:) Maybe one more today? it's raining so I'll be staying home today, lol.
Thank you Dianebulley for your info - maybe next year will be able to bring some more and create something in the garden:)

Interesting blog, although I would never spend holiday there alone. That place seems to me very hollow and sad. But I liked the last two photos :) Siomething living over there :))

Well done Kasy, a blog for a rainy day!
It's looks very wild..just imagine working there!
That's a long way to carry slate!!

would they have donkeys to carry the slate in those days?

Katarina - that was exactly what I needed. After a very busy period at work in spring - perfect runaway from all the people. Just me and occasional tourists here and there, lol
It is very wild Lulu - hardly any tree or shrub. Sea, wind, sheep and cows. Not forget to mention the birds.
have no idea Sticki how they did it those days...

Was going to make a joke about reincarnation ; )
but i wont ....

oh, Stevie - feel free. You know I can take a lot jokes, lol.

looks a fabulous place to me kasy, wild and free ~ i love it!

it's got plenty of wow factors Sticki:) but if you are affraid of heights - wouldn't recommend it, lol. Many times the path goes right at the edge of the cliff and the very strong wind doesn't help neither;-)

maybe only take pictures of the view below by lying on the cliff edge instead of standing then?

eerrr - not so sure about that Sticki, lol.

Just Sticki suggesting you were drawn to this location as you were a slate donkey in a previous life!! tad disrespectful perhaps but....; )

haha Stevie - oh, don't worry - it's only a joke, (right?) lol.
If you liked the Blue Lagoon - you should really fall in love with the sandy beach on the last photo;)

I thought it was wonderful. There are so many places in this country that people never know about.
Lots of beaches on the South Coast too.
Learning to study an OS map can help find them.
Up in the Western Isles I found some. White sand, made by crushed shells, lots of wild life too.
Just me there, all alone with the sea and the sky.
Its finding where there is a road leading near to the shore, so you dont have to walk far.

Sticki, if I was miner there, I would use ships for transport. the sea is close.

hmmm stevie! i thought it was me that felt like a pit pony i dont think i remember saying kasy was a slate donkey ~ let me scroll back up this blog ..........................................................

er no it definitely wasnt me!!!

good idea katarina! donkey takes slate to the boat then boat takes it the rest of the way???

There was sometimes a problem getting a boat over rocks just below the surface, near the shore.
Also Donkeys would have been cheaper than a boat with crew to pay.

that's lovely Kasy, great blog :-)

Diane - that's sort of the kind od holidays I like - discovering hidden gems.
Katarina - but what about transporting goods inland?
Sticki - it definitely wasn't you, lol.
Stevie - I thought I rarther was an Arabic horse as my country is known for breeding them, lol.
Thank you SL:)

:-)

Great pictures. I should do the same. We don't have the ocean but the reflection from the sky is amazing. We are not allowed very close to our slate areas. At one time, this area supplied almost all of the slate roofs in and out of USA. Thanks for getting them together.

Thank you Wells. It was my pleasure to do the blog:) an open spaces, you can wonder wherever you want - that's what I like about Pembrokeshire. But just as a holiday place - couldn't live there - not enough trees, shrubs for me, lol

Beautiful place Kasy, loved the blue lagoon, I `ve never been to that part of the country, so loved seeing it in your photographs, I love to explore places like that, I would also have filled all my bags and pockets with some slate and any piece of rock or shell that caught my eyes.
Catching up on Goy, I enjoyed the blog ,thanks for sharing Kasy...

Thank you Lincslass - it's beautiful here. Every season is different. Just not enough time to go for the walks and enjoy it fully.
