That's My Life

It’s November and believe it or not I am writing this, sitting at my desk next to a large Christmas tree. Yes, it’s that time of year again. The council vans have started blocking the roads, putting up lights and Christmassy signs. Most of the shops including FBM Holidays have trees or decorations in their windows. Although a little early it’s all looking very pretty and festive, and it’s definitely getting me into my Christmas mode. Sparkly dresses and shoes in Peacocks window. A gorgeous red reindeer sweater stands centre stage in Jago’s window. A must have for all gentlemen this Christmas. Santa and Snowman cakes are piled in the baker’s window and you can buy a ‘Festive Bake’ (a pasty filled with turkey, stuffing and cranberry) delicious, especially when hot. The numerous bars and restaurants in Tudor Square and the surrounding narrow streets are all looking very festive too. My stroll home from work on these dark winter evenings takes me passed the cosy, brightly lit Buccaneer pub, Tenby House, The Bay Tree and my eyes are drawn inside but I reluctantly scurry by and continue on my journey home. There is a definite nip in the air and as I turn the corner onto the Paragon, I can see the lights flickering on the boats in the blackness of the bay, some possibly on their way to Caldey Island. Looking at Tenby, the South Beach, the Harbour and the Esplanade with all its hotels from a boat in the bay at night must be spectacular. Will have to give it a try some time. From many of our properties at FBM Holidays, you have a view of Caldey Island and Tenby’s gorgeous beaches, so it’s well worthwhile taking a look at our website and booking your next holiday or break with us. Just want to have quick rant about the cobbled streets in Tenby. Although they look quaint and lovely much nicer than pavement slabs, there is a down side, my heels! Walking home a couple of days ago with my colleagues, more than four times the heel of my shoe got wedged in the gaps in the cobbles. I had to take my foot out and physically tugged at the shoe to get it out. At one stage it happened in the middle of the road outside St Mary’s Church and I held up all the traffic much to the amusement of my friends and passers by. Laughs and giggles all round. I suppose this means another visit to ‘Dai the Boot’. I reckon he goes around Tenby making the gaps between the cobbles wider to crank up his business, only joking, love him really. So, don’t forget if you would like to meet ‘Dai the Boot’ or see Pembrokeshire’s spectacular beaches and scenery take a look at FBM Holidays website where you will find your perfect self catering holiday property.
