Hopped on my bike to catch the warm sunshine of an early September afternoon.
Rode westwards from Llanelli along the Sustrans Route 4 towards Burry Port and Pembrey.
Stopped for a breather just short of Burry Port harbour, at the site of the giant 'Mari Lwyd' land sculpture.
Mari Lwyd (Grey Mare / Holy Mary) was the name most generally applied in Wales to the horse-figure formerly carried from door to door by wassail-singing groups during the Christmas season. This figure (which is, of course, represented in other countries) seems to have been once known all over southern Wales but during the present century relatively little has been seen of it outside of Glamorgan, where it is not yet completely extinct.
