When I was eight my father took a five-year posting in Pendine (five miles away from Laugharne). By the time it ended I’d had some intense, Wordsworth- and Heaneyesque experiences of the Natural World, as well as discovering Love – the latter involving a girl whose (enviably sophisticated and bohemian) family lived in Laugharne. Returned to outer south London (and a single-sex school), I yearned to get back there – although return trips on holiday could only confirm that we didn’t, in fact, live there any more (and of course we never had lived in Laugharne).
My feelings about Laugharne are – still – complex! Still a beautiful place, though, while the weather keeps off.

Another fine photo–and I’m a Thomas fan too.
