22nd Sept. Flickering Flames
Time has passed and we have had a good day, but I fear there is little energy to write much now for it is getting late.
This evening we have sat in the Chamber of the Flickering Flames.
This is the name Ecky and I gave to the living room bathed in candlelight for nearly 3 hours during a power cut.
There have been word games and amusing poems and songs from Ashley.
Ecky and I went off on a few adventures with our torches as the young girl and the old crone - only in the house of course. It has become quite chilly outdoors this evening.
The day though gave us enough warmth to sit outdoors for our lunch.
We went to a cafe - styled as a bistro (so therefore more expensive!) in a beautiful setting over looking the wide sandy bay under the cliffs at Llanbedrog.
We enjoyed a very pleasant time with Pete and Jean.
We even went mad and ordered 2 huge sundaes to share between the 4 of us. I kept clear of the whipped cream, but did use my long spoon to delve into the ice cream and apricots.
Right, I must drink the cup of tea that Bill has already made for me - so frustrating not to be able to put the kettle on and make a cuppa during the power cut.
It was obvious that many of the students who rent houses in these parts, abandoned home and went into town for the warmth and cheer of one of the pubs.
Tomorrow we head for home again - calling in on friends John and Sheila for lunch.
Goodnight.
