And then, the time I could put off no longer, a bike ride. Only a little one as I haven't touched my bike for three years. I am not one of the world's naturally co-ordinated biker riders. I hang on to the handlebars like grim death and hope no-one gets in my way, but today, I couldn't really go wrong, cycling along the promenade from the caravan site to Barmouth itself, all level, no hills or even mild slopes; my idea of an ideal cycling route. Also, the weather is lovely, no wind today, a few white, scudding clouds and....sun! We could almost be in France.
Life in north east England (yes, we've moved!) with an eccentric Welshman and a small white dog that thinks he's a Rottweiler.

I have never been... but after your pics I would love to try a day or so there
I have fond memories of family holidays in Barmouth as a kid, but especially the Social Cycles you could hire. Four wheels, two mpairs of legs and a steering wheel -- much harder to fall of!
You would love it, John.
SP, sounds like my kind of bicycle. ;)
Never been to Barmouth, Jenny, but we live on a street called Dartmouth. The locals call it "Dart Mouth" but it's the same as a city near Halifax, Nova Scotia where the locals call it "Dartmith." Is Barmouth pronounced like Plymouth and Dartmouth and ... ? Perhaps I should shut my mith and return to my journal. ;)) Love the pics, btw!
You could "almost be in France"? Well apart from the food perhaps. Welsh cuisine is hardly on a par with French fayre is it? I am glad you enjoyed your bike ride - cycling on the flat is delightful and good for us.
Welsh cuisine when Keith does it comes a reasonably close second, YP. ;)
What is Welsh cuisine nanyway? Cheese on toast with a lamb chop on the side?
Thought that was Yorkshire cuisine, YP! ;)
