Trefin is a small village situated to the north of Pembrokeshire, between Fishguard and St David's. The old name, Trefaen, means 'village on a rock'.

Cerys Matthews, mother of Glenys Pearly-Felin and Johnny Tupelo Jones was married to Seth Riddle in Rehoboth Chapel, Trevine. Her parents live here and she went to Fishguard County Secondary for her 'A' levels.

Years ago, my daughters and I went to Cardiff to a Tom Jones concert where Cerys and Tom sang 'Baby it's Cold Outside' and the place was packed. Trefin is a long way from Nashville, I suppose, but who needs Nashville?

I like out of the wayplaces and Trefin is isolated. When I look at John Knapp Fisher's paintings of this part of Pembrokeshire I identify with theloneliness he captures. Stunted trees bend in the wind, one lime washed cottage is silhouetted against a distant coastline, rocks and boulders jut out of sparse grassy knolls.

There was aflour mill in Trefinfor more thanfive hundred years. Crwys, the poet and bard,wrote Wales's most famous poem about this mill.

Saturday night Harry stayed in a farmhouse nearby, an end of season get together for the lifeguards.

To reach the farmhouse it's necessary to negotiate a one way track, (few passing points) and trees overhang the lane making it dark. In winter, frost and snowmake travelling difficult if you live here.

Today I pondered all this and,you know what? I'drather be sitting in a little cafe in this part of the world, some farm vehicles passing by, than any glitzy shopping area you could think of, unless it's Cannes, of course.
