A Story Behind The Coal Trucks

By

1–2 minutes

 I’ve added something a little different to the blog.

I was pleased to be involved with the exciting coal trucks installation near the beach in Saundersfoot

This is a short illustrated story inspired by the installation and Saundersfoot’s coal-mining past and by the idea that places remember more than we think they do. It’s written for children — but like most good children’s stories, it’s really for anyone who enjoys history, imagination, and the quiet magic of familiar places.

The story lives on its own Page, so it can be read slowly, just as it was meant to be.

👉 Read the story here: James & The Time Tunnel. 

If you’re local, you may recognise some of the details.

If you’re not, I hope it still feels like somewhere worth visiting.

If you enjoyed this, there are plenty more stories waiting — some lighter, some darker, all drawn from real moments and observations.

If you’re new here, you can start with a few favourites on the “Start Here” page.

New stories are added regularly — follow along so you don’t miss the next one.

Here it is, another modern adventure: The Boathouse Gang
