May day evening arrived once more at Trefin,
north-west Pembrokeshire coast:
evening sunlight on the sea and cliffs,
colour erupts on these cliff paths in May –
how will it be today? –
the starry blue squill on the path borders,
the bright pink pom-pom cushion patches plump of thrift
cascades of very white bladder campion
the quiet ripples of the waves down in the cove
by the old disused mill* with its long-still stone:
drink up this more refreshing, greater thrill than …

Beautiful, Rhiannon! Thankyou for recalling such luxurious Nature :0) So often wildflowers seem to be scraping a living, but not with you! All fulfilled and glorious. I hope you had a wonderful holiday

Thank you, Di. A good break, though we were a bit more limited by health. These cliff paths do seem to burst out luxuriously in May! Very beautfiul. My husband needs to take a half -hour or so stroll each morning, and it was a short walk down to the cliff path and circle round, each morning, with a bit of variation! Rhiannon
