I must apologise for such a lengthy absence, we have been in Mid Wales for about 10 days and have not been able to access the Internet there is no 3 network there, typical, as I have just increased my monthly bandwidth to three gigabytes. For several days we stayed just outside of Towyn, we then moved down the coast a little to Aberdovey. Three nights and four days in this pretty little town and then back to Towyn. Whilst in Aberdovey, we met a smashing couple called John and Lucy who taught us how to catch, cook and prepare crab to eat. One evening they kindly provided us with a lovely sea food meal of crab and muscles. Thank you both, it was delicious and we will remember what we have been taught for the future. We also made friends with a couple from Bolton who gave us several locations to free camp along the stretch of coast. I took loads of photographs whilst in the area and have put some of them on Flickr.
We have now moved up the coast a little to a spot just west of Cricieth, this is a private site and very basic. (Now bear in mind that we have not been to this neck of the woods for 2 years) As I went to book in the lady who owns the site Alison, said "Oh hello Keith, do you know we were only talking about you two yesterday, and now you are here. How funny" Well I was amazed, because we have only been here once before. As we pulled on to our pitch Sharron and Pat (another couple we befriended) came out of their van and greeted us and also told us that they had only been talking about us the previous day. It was as if we had just popped into town for some shopping and come straight back, rather than the two years since we had seen everyone. But what amazed me more than anything, was that everyone remembered my name, what a lovely crowd of people.
