Tenby to Swansea and Home Again

Most people from Swansea pay Tenby and Pembrokeshire a visit from time to time but last night I bucked the trend and attended the South Wales Evening Post Pride Awards at the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea. An event to celebrate the unsung heroes in the community. A beautiful venue, fantastic meal and an amazing evening. Everyone was bedecked in their finery, ladies dressed in ball gowns and gentlemen in black ties. Brendan Rogers, the former Swansea City manager and Welsh International footballer John Hartson were among the judges. Do you remember the first winner of Britain’s Got Talent, Paul Potts (operatic singer), he also attended the ceremony.
The reason for my attendance was to support my 91year old mum, affectionately known as Aunty Raie to all her pupils some of who are now grandmothers, who was nominated for an award. She has been teaching dancing for over 60 years in Swansea and was nominated for a Lifetime Achievement Award and unsurprisingly she won.
I left the Brangwyn Hall with the celebrations in full swing for my drive home, and as I approached the South Beach, Tenby via South Parade, it was probably about 12.30am and the beauty of the dark sea with and the twinkling lights on Caldey Island took my breath away. I was imagining how lovely it must be staying in one of FBM Holidays self catering properties on the Esplanade having that wonderful view 24/7. Can’t beat it. If you are interested take a look at our website FBM Holidays and see this gorgeous view for yourself.
Good luck to Swansea City and the Wales Rugby team for the weekend. Here we go again. Love it.
