A Cardiff Tenby Blog

Ok, it's official. As of 8th March, this will no longer be a Cardiff based blog. It will be a Tenby based blog. We're finally all set to head west. Other than booking the removal van, packing the house, and getting everything 90 odd miles westwards, we're done. And to be honest, I can't wait. Cardiff has just about utterly pissed me off the last couple of years so I'm happy to be going.

This happened before back when I was 20 and ready to get away to Cornwall. I ended up in a place like where I'm going to now. Seaside tourist trap with a long history and miles from home. Back then the things that drove me mad and bought me back home are the exact things I want now and will make me a new home. Being older and wiser, they are boons not curses.

I love Cardiff and the people, but I hate it and them as we well. Hell, who am I kidding, I hate people full stop, but if it's a toss up between sitting in traffic for an hour whilst trying to get the 2 miles to the city centre to join the shopping zombies or getting miffed by tourists for a few short weeks in the summer, then I know which one I'd take.

We were there yesterday just for the day, to look at the house we're renting and show Elis. I can't wait to be out of Cardiff. He looks excited and I want to do lots of seaside stuff with him. Touch wood it all goes well.
