Tenby 03: Pembroke Castle

Tenby 03: Pembroke Castle

Bradley wants a wee. Sure it must be the excitement of reaching so high a castle.

He always catches hold of his willy, it's a bit Italian. Seeing him doubled up too, means he needs one PDQ.

Such a beautiful place and so quiet considering the beautiful day. I guess, it's because Pembroke is so far West.

We were going just to the docks to llook at big ships, tankers possibly, but as we went past they sounded so excited and as we found ourselves going past twice Ñ we were lost

Our guide tells us about the dinners held here, about how come we call the gentry, upper crust, no plates meant they ate off slices of bread, the best being the crust. The wardrobe, where there was also a poo hole, closing the door during the summer months killed the bugs in our unwashed Normans' clothes. 8 baths in six months meant a king was thought to be a bit... Odd.

Did he say 26,000 years? I'm sure he did. That's the age of the first human occupation of this cave, much later, the castle.

Across the road from the main enterance to the castle was this old house. Low ceilings, little windows, and somebody lives there. Pity it's so close to the road, but I guess it's always been so close to the road.
