Aberaeron

Last Friday we headed off to Wales for a long weekend near St Davids, in Pembrokeshire.

It's about a five hour drive so a couple of stops en route were called for - the first at Attingham Park just outside Shrewsbury, the second by the sea in Aberaeron.

It was early evening by the time we reached there, with the sun dropping down towards the horizon. More importantly - it was windy. Not just a bit breezy, but 'Hang on to your hat, and hope you aren't blown away' windy!!

The tide was high, and the sea rough, and it certainly wouldn't have been advisable to stand on the opposite side of the harbour.

Turning my back on the sea, things seemed much calmer though the boats were still rocking up and down.

As the sun sank into the sea we had to move on, but the sunset continued so bright and dramatic that I had to take photos from the car.
