Carys Davies is the studio manager for Edmund de Waal. This should be praise enough but her work transcends this role. She was an engineer in her earlier life and made a conscious decision to follow another path. She talks about Manorbier Beach on her website, and as this is an area where i grew up ... in fact i was there very recently ... i feel i really understand her love of the beach ... the smells, sounds, and treasures that you find.

After the glorious weekend we have just had (and I have very burnt cheeks to remind me!) i managed to take a few photographs with my phone. We stayed in a beautiful little hotel, Castlemead Hotel, in Manorbier, Pembrokeshire. To say that we had 'a room with a view' would be not doing the vista real justice. I grew up in the area and although many places have been developed since i left Manorbier is one of those tiny villages that time has let stand still. It has a beautiful castle(although Pembroke Castle is certainly the most impressive in the area), a wonderful little church and a great bay.
