“Our twilight month November is,
The evening of the year.
The brilliant summer noontide left
A pallor soft and clear.

Dame Winter brings with quiet grace
Her curtains all of snow,
And pins them deftly into place
With boughs of mistletoe.”

Another 5 ⭐️ review 💫

“O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Re**rd the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes’ sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes’ sake along the wall.”

Amazing Tolkien themed map of Cymru!

J.R.R. Tolkien, the genius behind “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings,” was not only a literary mastermind but a philologist deeply connected to Cymru. His works are steeped in the influence of Welsh language, mythology, and landscapes. In his own words, he referred to Welsh as the “senior language of the men of Britain.”

Tolkien’s appreciation for the Welsh language went beyond mere admiration. He embedded Welsh linguistic elements into his fictional world. The Elvish languages of Quenya and Sindarin, which feature prominently in “The Lord of the Rings,” exhibit clear Welsh influences, both in phonetics and structure. This linguistic artistry lent authenticity to Middle-earth.

The mythological tradition of Cymru was another wellspring of inspiration. The tale of the Mabinogion, a collection of Welsh legends, offered parallels to Tolkien’s storytelling. Elements of the Mabinogion, such as the enchanted Cauldron of Rebirth, are visible in Tolkien’s works.

“Lo! a ripe sheaf of many golden days
Gleaned by the year in autumn’s harvest ways,
With here and there, blood-tinted as an ember,
Some crimson poppy of a late delight
Atoning in its splendor for the flight
Of summer blooms and joys­
This is September.”

Headed here tomorrow … WTS 🏰

The Milford Haven Waterway — also known as ‘the hidden waterway’ — is the second deepest natural harbour in the world (after Sydney Harbour in Australia). 😲🐚

Aside from being rich in biodiversity, it has played a crucial role in the area’s historical significance — with evidence of early human settlements and maritime activity. ℹ️ 🌊

It’s also home Carew Castle and Tidal Mill – Pembrokeshire’s visitor attraction of the year and a fantastic family day out!

Garden Maintenance Day! 🌱

A lot of weeding and planting out of new flowers and bulbs … also reset the Guest Garden with more pea gravel and a better border - it’s looking great! Still plenty more room for plenty more guests😜

It’s an idea we had whilst travelling in the Caribbean a few years ago: instead of a guest book, decorate a rock to leave a legacy and make an artwork in our garden 💚 🎨 🪨

Make sure to add yours when you visit us 🤩
