Tenby Paella Festival

I've been feeling really in a continued holiday mood this week. My parents, grand parents and aunty, partner and grandson have been down since Sunday. They're staying in a caravan at Kiln Park and we've been doing a fair bit together. My parents and grand parents went back today, but my aunty's lot remains. As Elis and their grandson are roughly the same age, they've been having a ball together. Elis stayed at the caravan with them the last two nights, having fun with Ieuan - my aunty's grandson.

Anyway, Sunday night saw Tenby's Paella Festival. We went along to sample the food and the atmosphere. It was a wonderful Summer evening, life music, beer, warmth and sun. The boys had a blast, and it really felt nice given the rotten weather of the past two months.

To be honest, the paella was a tad disappointing. It was a bit on the bland side, and could have done with a ton more seafood in it. I ended up with a big pile of the stuff as others in the group weren't impressed either. It was very filling though - I'll give it that. Anyway, the paella wasn't the highpoint, the event itself was. Needless to say I took a few photographs around and about - some of the event and some of the lovely buildings around the harbour.

As Elis is now missing his friend, I'm probably going to take him out again tomorrow (we've had a couple of days on the beach already) and have a return trip to Caldey Island. Let's hope the weather holds up a bit.
