It was pretty wet in Aberystwyth this morning. So, with plenty to read and a couple of computers in tow I caught the train to Pwllheli just to have a cup of tea. More than six hours of train ride for £8.50 - and amazing views. Plus a train where the vast majority of train announcements were not in English - and nor was much of the conversation. Farage would have been deeply uncomfortable. I loved it. And I got the chance to take this:
Honestly, that is a colour photo. For the train buffs, it is Lyd heading for Porthmadog across the Cob at about 3pm this afternoon taken from the mainline train about a mile further north. Any fuzziness is down the quality of window cleaning by Trains for Wales.
Thanks for reading this post.

So glad that you are having a great break.
Great, Richard! I recognise the Cob – will probably drive along to Porthmadog when we’re in Wales in 3 weeks time. I always visit the Portmeirion ‘seconds’ shop in Porthmadog to replace any china that’s been broken – it’ll be one bowl and two small plates this time.
And it’s wonderful to hear Welsh being spoken – I only manage a few phrases at the moment, but there are classes for beginners in Machynlleth.
Peace and love

I did, of course, change in Machynlleth
Best to you too Jeni
Wonderful blog
Often first thing I read
Inspiring

Great picture!
We once changed at Dovey Junction

All the best!
And free from Machynlleth to Pwllheli for Welsh over 60’s from October to March! – don’t you all wish you had a Labour government?
Maybe….if they had a Brexit policy as well
Mind you, Welsh Labour do have that…
Peter Challen has forwarded your objectives for a Green New Deal. Wonderful and inspirational. Might you add something about water conservation and consumption?
Noted….
