Halfway round Wales/Cwm Tudu/New Quay

Something has gone dreadfully wrong with this website, hence my lack of posting for a while. I have just uploaded three photos from today, and they have just disappeared into thin air! Nothing, no error message, just a big fat blank screen. Well only to be expected I suppose, knowing the sort of day I am having, everything, but everything has gone wrong. The only good thing about it is the weather, well crystal clear blue skies since dawn, and its now 5pm and still sunny. Bitterly cold wind though, but t-shirt weather if you can get in a sheltered spot. Having travelled halfway round Wales (you think I am jesting) I ended up at Cwm Tudu where I took the pictures. Fully anticipating a nice spot of lunch sat outside at the little cafe's tables, I was thwarted in that it's still shut for winter, despite the place being packed with cars and people wandering around who would no doubt have enjoyed a coffee or even an ice cream. These people don't want to earn money do they? I already decided against Aberporth beach for that reason - only one cafe, and hardly ever open. I then went to New Quay, which was alive with people, couldn't move, parked a mile away (well nearly) from the chippy, and then was thrown out by the bloke who works in there because I had Emma with me. He must've got out of bed the wrong side I think, I have taken her in there lots of times before and never had a problem. He said to tie her up outside, well there was one tiny hook, and her lead immediately fell off, not to mention she would get walloped as soon as somebody opened the door, or trip someone over on the pavement, its too narrow. So I went off with the hump, stuff him. I have been going to that chippy for 12 sodding years, and always tell everyone its the best fish and chips in the Universe. Now I feel like never going there again tbh. Really annoyed. So I came home and had my usual lunch (very late) of cup-a-soup and toast and marmite. Grrrrrr.

Ah well such is life, will try again with the photos I suppose. Emma had a nice time anyway, cooled down in the sea, as she was very hot in the car, but bitterly disappointed about the lack of chips. She is getting so fat though, it is all for the best (I tell myself.)

Hooray, fourth time lucky, at last got a picture to load. Cwm Tudu cove, looking to the left (obviously!)

Looking towards the coastal path, looks fab today with all the gorse in bloom. The caves below are where the seals live.

A wet Emma, looking as if she has been thrashed within an inch of her life!

So glad you are posting again, even if it was a bit of a negative day. I now have a blog which I will send to you, it's not all that interesting but hey ho such is life!
 
Nice pics Jan, lovely views.
 
Hi Jan

Emma is such a cutey!!

Nice pics!
 
Just to let you know that Blogger has been playing up for me too recently - it's really annoying, especially when trying to upload photos. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Glad your posting again and hope to see more soon.
