Writer's Blog 2010-09-14

Hello everyone,

I'm just recently back from holiday. Went to Tenby as usual. My family and I have been their every year for the last - ten or so - no longer than that. Now you may be thinking two things; Why go to the same place every year and, connected to that, doesn't it get a little boring.

Well I'll answer the second question first.

No. It is that simple. Tenby has now become a home away from home. We can be their in just a couple of hours from Cardiff and when we're their it is like being in our second home.

I have gone on trips abroad before now and to be honest I never find them that relaxing. The problem is air ports. As anyone who's ever flown will know you have to be at the air port hours before your flight. So factor in an early rise - hours at the air port - hours in the air - a coach trip from London to Cardiff and you've almost forgotten, or rather certainly don't feel, how relaxing the holiday was.

So on arriving in Tenby we know the score. We know the good restaurants, places to go for the day and so on. So we don't feel a great need to go out every day. Some days we will just go out into the town, or along the beach - there are many in Tenby - and that is great. I imagine if we went somewhere different we might well feel the need to get up early and out every day.

So why do we go to the same place every year?

It is difficult to say how it all started. We began by camping but have also stayed in a caravan but more recently its been in a flat - like this year. I guess we just found we loved Tenby.

This year we had a great view of the sea. It was wonderful because the view changed every morning as the sea went in and out.

Later in the week I'll be uploading some of my dad and brother's pictures of the holiday.

See you soon.
