Days 11,12, 13 the beauty of Wales

It was cloudy and cold for two of these days, but the sun broke out yesterday and it became incredibly warm.  No more coats in the tiny house, etc.

Sunday, our first full day here, we found a fantastic grocery store, with multiple fresh things from all over Europe and the world.  We had fresh salmon with orange tarragon sauce and asparagus for dinner.  Yummy.

Viewed Europes largest estuary (we are further up the Dyr river from it) whole Dyr river valley is a UNESCO Heritage sight, for the people and the natural beauty.  Everyone is quite friendly and helpful.  Beach isn't quite up to St John standards but it is long and wide and pretty abandoned, but not totally.

Drove home through Happy Valley and saw no one but a mother sheep and lamb having a nap on the asphalt.  Oh, and like at home, a few very hardy bikers.

Monday we toured their MOMA and drove up the mountain for sandwiches at the spot pictured above.  A huge view of the valley behind us.  Windy up there, but stunning views.

Tuesday we toured Dolgoch waterfall where a steam train was used to take the farmers goods to market, before they made a highway.

 Had a piece of chocolate cake and coffee/tea at the quaint tea shop at the head of the path to the below.  Glorious sun finally came out.  Rex and I both said at the same time, it was easy to believe in the fairies in this woods.

Went back to Machynlleth, which even has a great fabric store. My one purchase, a bamboo and cotton woven for them in India, which Rex found first.

Other great shops, one had wonderfully tempting shoes, that I don't need.

Found a fresh rainbow trout and fresh Brussels sprouts and baking potatos for dinner.

Today is market day, so I think we are going back there for that.
