Charming record of a summer holiday taken by Philip J Wright and his wife Brenda with their 3 children – Sally (b.1948) – later an editor/publisher, Juliet (b.1950) a town planner and baby Nicholas (b.1953) a geologist/arctic specialist. On the beaches of Pembrokeshire sand pies and castles are made, to be annihilated by the sea, and the weathered ruins of vast stone castles are visited: Carew, Pembroke, Manorbier, Llawhaden. Ice-creams play their part in the holiday too.
