Life through the lens...

The Last Invasion Tapestry.

Highlight of our day.

Commissioned as a permanent legacy of the Bicentenary Commemorations in 1997.
It took 4 years to complete, and is now displayed in a purpose built gallery attached to the Library in Fishguard Town Hall.

It is 100ft long and 20” deep. The design includes a commentary in both Welsh and English.
It was designed by Elizabeth Cramp with the help of 3 embroidery advisors, with 77 local people helping with the stitching.
A truly amazing piece of needlework.
Added some extras too.

This afternoon we visited Narberth. A nice small town, but not quite as good as I expected.
However there was a very good butchers and greengrocers. Among other things we bought some local Pembrokeshire new potatoes which we will be having for tea along with asparagus and Welsh Dragon sausages.

Weather warm,  20C but cloudy. Not complaining even though I think it is hot and sunny back home!
