Back in Aber

 A nice early start today after another stormy night....with nice fresh views from where we stayed..

Then back up to Aberystwyth to drop my daughter at work for a few hours while I had a walk around town, just browsing, watched the sea then walked back up the path to her work...finding windfall apples and bullaces by the path!!

Then back for lunch and gardening 

Continued...

 

First we saw the tapestry about the last "invasion" in 1797...I had seen it in 1997 when I came down from Garn Dolbenmaen on the bus with daughter to stay with my friends not long after we ejected their father...then it was on the ground floor of the town hall. Now it is on the first floor with the library and a small art gallery..and the lift was being mended... daughter managed the stairs, slowly...she can't walk far.

Then we went past the theatre in Abergwaun, over to Gwdig where the ferry to Ireland leaves from and up to Strumble Head, going around many of the significant places from 1797

Across the valley to see a gallery of West Wales Art. I was pleasantly surprised to recognise a few names...and looking at the prices it is time I prepared some of my work for sale!!

Back up to our friends where I was left while family went to see a Dolmen at Pentre Ifan, and I had a long catch up natter with my friend...we won't be leaving it such a long time again!

To be continued

 An interesting day, after the ravages of hurricane Ernesto last night..but I'm tired...so that can wait..

Handfasting and party!

 This is the view from where we are staying...a cottage behind an old rectory, all in one huge self catering rental..I think that this may have been the original cottage...with this to the other side 

I travelled down on Tuesday night with daughter and family...

Wednesday  (late!) morning we went via Abergwaun for some food shopping..

Then headed six miles up into the hills at the southern end of Mynydd Preseli...

Unfortunately the rain softly moved in, carried by strong winds..not unusual there..

But a great time was had by all.

And Ernesto is blasting us all now....
