by train to the sea

---

Today I tested out my new old lady's rail card - how come I'm old enough for one? And I took a train through the beautiful Welsh countryside to the coast at Aberystwyth. Its a stunning ride through steep valleys and then along the beautiful Dovey valley. There was still snow on the hills, and lost of floods too. I spent 4 hours in Aber, mostly near the sea. It was pretty rough and great fun to watch. I also climbed the Constitution Hill, which was very windy. Alex had primed me about how to set the camera on timer, so I could take pictures of myself. But it was so rough that either the camera blew over, or I did! - thus lots of tasteful pics of sky, grass and my hand!

Another time I shall get off at Borth, the previous station, and walk over the cliffs to catch the train back at Aber. Watch this space.

guess what
not open in January! Well, I fancied a stroll.

I got me
but into the sun!

even the beacon
had blown down. Luckily a fellow walker was onh and for this picture.

most of the beach
seemed to be on the prom and the road today. Don't think I'd park my car there, some of the stones were quite big.
