All new

I have never been to Pembrokeshire before and I’m loving it. 

Yesterday’s weather was drizzly and dull so we went to St Davids, which is a city, on account of St David’s cathedral, 




but St David’s is a settlement smaller than Bakewell. There is only one supermarket, for example, and they’ve been campaigning to stop the surgery being closed down. Perhaps the new government will keep it open: they are promising more GPs, after  all.

We looked round the cathedral and I was taken with this quote from St David:




Also with the needlework on this tapestry:




…look at the beautiful crows!




And this panel in another part of the cathedral:




Which brought me back to thoughts of Gaza.

And in another part of the cathedral I learned about the Armenian genocide in 1915, which I had known nothing about. Why are there STILL genocides?

I saw this tweet last night:



We must not let the world turn its eyes away from what’s happening in Gaza.
