11 March 2012 ABERYSTWYTH Sunday

We drove through Cambrian countryside with more impossibly cute (excuse the bad typo before) lambs in multiple pastures, whereupon I declared never to eat lamb again (I can hear you Jen).  Our destination, Aberystwyth in Cardigan Bay was perfectly drenched in sunshine on the Promenade, after thick mist in the mountains and valleys on our drive there.
We strolled to the end of Marine Terrace to the cliff railway up Constitution Hill for far reaching 360 degree views across Cambrian coast and countryside.

Thereafter, we had a most delicious, quintessential British Sunday carvery for lunch with uninterrupted oceanfront views.  I remembered too late, my vow never to eat lamb again and felt much remorse at having lamb roast for lunch - well, no more, starting now!

Post lunch, the whole of Aberystwyth was on the Promenade, from oldies, youngies, unies, babies, kiddies and doggies to boot! creating a wonderful community atmosphere of everyone enjoying their place in the sun.

We had a browse around Aberystwyth castle, built in the 1300's, now in ruins, but no less impressive and thoroughly loved the Old College building with it's fairytale turrets.

Lovely drive home with a lamb and horse-feeding stop of course.
