Short Break - Day 1

Picked up my friend, J, before 10 a.m. to go to my niece's caravan for a few days. Had a good run down to Tal y Bont, unpacked the car and headed to Barmouth for lunch. Although the weather was dull and cloudy, it was fine and after lunch we had a walk along our local beach where we could see the storm clouds moving in. The forecast was horrendous with near gale force winds - the tail end of the hurricane which had come across the Atlantic.
Once back at the caravan it was a case of 'batten down the hatches and ride the storm!' However, we lit the fire, opened the wine and sat and watched 'Dr. Zhivago' for a few hours, by which time we didn't care about the weather!! Slept well.
