We started the day with a walk along the beach, with the Irish Sea crashing spectacularly beside us. The winds were extremely strong, but warmer than we anticipated. We looked a bit like Nanuk of the North with all our layers, but the dogs didn't mind.
We checked out a slate quarry...I know, I know, it doesn't sound that exciting, but it was amazing to see a demonstration of hand-splitting slate into paper thin sheets...(notice the Border Collie in the crowd!)
...and pictures of men hanging from massive slabs of slate as they tried to pry it away from the mountain.
This was our quarry imitation...
We returned home by taking a small track over the mountain...yes, this is a road, not a walking path!
As always there were sheep everywhere...
...felt like a bit of a safari...can you see this one...another Where's Waldo from Boywood...
Finally, we'd had our fill of tea and we needed a fix of North America, with a British flair!
Ta...until tomorrow!
