Lockdown - Postcards from Pembrokeshire

Over the past 12 months, in common with people throughout the world, the people of Wales have spent extended periods of time in Covid Lockdown. For many, travel, by anything other than on foot, has been restricted. The images I post here have been taken by me over the past few months, they represent glimpses of thoughts, feelings and brief experiences of my personal journey through Lockdown.

Lockdown - Postcards from Pembrokeshire

Easter Monday. People of Wales are now free to travel throughout the country. If all goes according to plan, visitors from England will be able to holiday in Wales from April 12th - one week from today.

I am a little unsettled by the changes to travel restrictions, and feel the need to visit a quiet place. I make my way to Dinas Mountain - a peaceful, hilly moorland, scattered with gorse and heather. At this time of year the air is full of the song of Skylarks.

I find the feral horses who live on the mountain, in an enclosed field. Mindful that some of the horses are resting, and that the majority will be with foal and ready to birth within weeks. I decide not to disturb them and continue walking the gentle moorland hills.

On the way back to my car I spy new born lambs. I walk closer and watch as a lamb nestles its mother for milk. Not picture postcard pretty, but, like the hillside they inhabit, rugged and noble.
