Short Outing from Ty’n Rhyd (4) - Porth Ysgo and a bit of drawing

 Friday 09 July

Our last full day here.

A quiet morning. Then down to the cove, drawing.

People: cyclists looking for a picnic spot. “I tried drawing once, at a lake in France…”

The skinny man with white hair “Far from the Madding Crowd”.

In the evening we bought fish and chips in Aberdaron, and made the acquaintance of the local heron once more.

and one last sunset…

Short outing from Ty’n Rhyd (3) Coastal path and Porth Ysgo

 Wednesday 07

Grey - the hills have hunkered down with clouds around their shoulders

Hiding their heads, afraid of the sun? A damp morning with a changing horizon.

The weather cleared in the afternoon. We walked around the lanes and along the coastal path to Porth Ysgo. 

Past the info about the magnesium Tramway.

Feet had to be dipped in the sea. A pebbly beach.
