St.Cadfan's in Sight

The day improved and by mid-morning the sun was beginning to break through the thin cloud that had existed since dawn. I had an idea that there were photos to be taken in what could be called Tywyn's Industrial Park. Instead of getting in the car I decided that a bike would be a better bet especially as I could easily get on and off. So trusty old bike it was!

But when I got there I was not enthused by anything that I saw. So the new wire fence round the re sited Police Station was interesting enough in its own way but it didn't seem to provide a frame for a picture. So I gave up on the idea of finding anything in that location and decided to explore the road leading through the Gwallia - somewhere I had promised myself I would go but had never got round to doing. It's a pretty straight road that starts off well metaled but after a couple of field gates becomes a grass track by the time it has reached the Broadwater. Pleasant enough out there with a breeze and a bit of sun. The river bank is raised above the surrounding rather marshy grassland - no trees, a few reeds, and today just the sound of birds - non in sight.

Cycling back I had to stop. I could see how Tywyn was built on what I can imagine to be a shingle and sand spit of land just above river and high tide levels, and silhouetted was the tower of St Cadfan's Church.

I certainly hadn't anticipated being on this track today, and the view I couldn't really have imagined. So after a disappointing start to the morning I think I have one 'keeper'.
