A few tips for those left in charge of toddlers in the North Pembrokeshire area.

Mr R was given the daunting task of taking care of his three and a half year old grandson for the day. It is some years since his children grew up and left home. Had he lost his touch?

Conscientious as ever he spent a sleepless night trying to formulate a plan of action. Only too soon the day dawned and his bright eyed, pink cheeked companion arrived all smiles and full of anticipation. His trust in Grandad never failing.

First stop Cafe in the Solva Boat Club onTrinity Quay at Solva Harbour. What a salvation. Mr R and Grandson were soon kitted out with the finest crab catching equipment and set to work. Many hours, mackerel heads and ice-creams later and their quest was deemed a roaring success. Grandad hadn't lost his touch after all.

The day was completed with an excellent meal supplied by the fish and chip shop in Goodwick where the kindly proprietor found a suitable table and various toys to be enjoyed along with such favourites as sausages and chips.

You can rest assured that Grandad and Grandson both slept soundly after their thoroughly enjoyable and busy day.
