If it was an offence to stalk wooden mermaid sculptures, we would have been locked up a long time ago.
We travelled eighty miles to the seaside village of St Dogmaels to catch a glimpse of her seaweed-coloured smile.
Like a junkie chasing a fix we just had to have one more wooden mermaid hit in late August to last us through the winter …
Snap, snap, arrggh.
The flowing hair, the contours, the graininess and greenness and those big green eyes looking out to sea.

This wooden character caught our eye… always a good start.
It is a wooden sculpture of St Dogmael in St Dogmaels about a mile west of Cardigan.
The sculpture is by John Clarke and dates from 2002, commissioned to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
It is located near the lower end of St Dogmaels’s Abbey.
Watch your step. There is a duck pond adjacent to the sculpture!
St Dogmaels village has lots to offer the photographer/tourist. According to Dyfed Archaeological Trust it is “a very distinctive historic landscape character“.

We saw this gentleman through the camera lens waiting outside Oxfam in Cardigan.
Is he waiting for a companion whilst they look for a bargain in Oxfam ?
Or is he a Cardi peeling an orange in his pocket ?

Pages is a second hand bookshop in the middle of Cardigan town.
Definitely the best bookshop in town. Friendly and helpful staff.
Warned one member of staff “don’t sell me any books… I’m a recovering addict”. She proceeded to give some expert tips on maintaining personal libraries in multiple locations. What a gem!
Fair prices and a wide selection of books which are mostly categorized.
The shop interior is fairly spacious and there are plenty of nooks and crannies to ‘drop out’ and hide away engrossed in a book (if that type of thing turns you on).
Found a few gems here this summer, including a book by Vandana Shiva on biodiversity.

Punk fashion reaches the sleepy seaside town of Cardigan in Ceredigion.
It only took thirty years.
Wakey, wakey Aberteifi.
