Quest For The West - Tenby And Saundersfoot

Plans for our big move are still in swing - we're waiting on the surveyors report from the buyer and we should be able to set the completion date. We still haven't found anywhere definite to live, but we've centred our attentions on the areas of Tenby and Saundersfoot in Pembrokshire.

We took another trip down there last weekend (where I started the redesign off) and looked at a few likely areas. We managed to put an offer in on one amazing rental place, practically on the beach in Saundersfoot. Unfortunately we were gazumpped, after travelling down to sign the papers this Monday, we were told the house had received and offer to be bought instead of rented. We were gutted.

But it's not all doom and gloom, we have a place in Tenby to visit next week that we can pretty much have if we like it, and whilst not on the beach, it's about 200 yards away from it. Touch wood it comes off as we're expecting to have to be out the end of the month.

From the first visit, here's some snaps of first a horse in the sea at Saundersfoot, and then some shots on the beach in Tenby. It was a bit grey both days, so nothing too spectacular.
