Day 6

Day 6 Llainfran House CL Nanternis, New Quay

Awoke to the now familiar cries of HELP HELP from the smallest room, and the relieved look on Mums face as she is once again liberated.

Light breakfast of cereal and/or toast with lashings of tea and coffee.

Took the dog down to the dog walk area where she had her first close up meeting with a live goat. After their initial Mexican standoff through the fence she barked, once. Goat took off as fast as its little legs would carry it, till......THWACK......its reached the limit of its chain and much to the amusement of the other goats completed an amazing if not very stylish back flip. This has been my personal high spot of the holiday so far.

Off to New Quay for dinner. Two Haddock and one Plaice and chips. Top quality proper sea side food and absolutely huge portions followed by a walk round the small harbour with an Ice Cream, didnt quite manage the doughnuts.

Spent a couple of hours up and down the tiny streets, found out that Dylan Thomas wrote Under Milk Wood here, did a little bit of shopping including the £1.20 shop, I kid you not, and back to the car.

Took a little detour on the way back to the van and just by chance happened upon Cymtydu a tiny village in a cove once used by smugglers. Had a very bracing stroll on the pebble beach watching the waves break on the cliffs either side, apparently regularly visited by seals and dolphins but all we saw were seagulls and a slightly overweight Jack Russell.

On the way back to the car and we hear a call of "bloody hell what you doing here". Its an old friend from my days up north. Havent seen him for four or five years. Hes with a gang of 16 who have rented a huge house to celebrate a fourtieth birthday. Small world.

Back to the caravan to dry out and Mum went off to do her perimeter patrol and hedge inspection. I am sure given a sharp implement of some kind the hedge would be gone. Somehow Mum managed to polish off a small ham salad and G&T to round off the day.

Tomorrow we depart for the south coast of Wales and a site that I believe has wifi so hopefully will upload some photos.
