Welsh Wales

Had a drive out today accompanied by mother and my Aunt Jan (AJ) to the beautiful Lleyn peninsula. We stopped first in Abersoch and much to my delight the beach huts where in my youth i spent a lot of nights sleeping rough are still there. How wonderful to wake up in your sleeping bag and be able to run straight into the sea.

Abersoch is now ultra trendy, the clothes shops are top notch and there are trendy bars and eating houses, the St Tuds and The Vaynol are still there though, although The Whitehoue was sadly boarded up.

From there we went down the coast as my memory was jogged about a holiday i went on when i was about 6 years old to an old cottage down an old farmers track with my family and my aunt's. To my amazement I found it, the cottage had been done up and must be worth 250K at least now, my mum and aunt were thrilled and amazed i found it.

From there we went off via Hells Mouth (wonderful name) to Aberdaron and had lunch in a place built as a communal kitchen for pilgrims in 1300AD, i doubt they served Pannini's back then.

After lunch we headed up to the headland of Uchymynedd which offers stunning views of Bardley Island, the lighthouse was on too. From our high viewpoint i was sure the large things we spotted out to sea were Basking Sharks (i had my binos with me) feeding near the surface.

The only thing to ruin the day was the traffic on the way back, yep the Rags are at home
