Onwards through wet wales - very lovely rolling hills and green lush valleys. We visited a couple of eclipse chums and received wonderful hospitality, good food, comfy bed and good conversation... we hatched some vague plans for eclipse chasing in the States next year.. I realise we need to do some serious thinking about this as it looms as potentially our next adventure..
I haven't had much time to draw the last couple of days.. I did a little bit of weaving inspired by some baskets I saw in a museum in Aberystwyth.
We came across the museum by chance.. the less then sunny weather left us wandering (meandering even) around town considering options for the day. Some of the architecture in Aberystwyth is very beautiful and one building in particular caught my eye - the ground floor was Boots but upstairs advertised itself as local museum. It was a very grand ornate ediface so we went to have a look. We were delighted to discover it was an old victorian theatre repurposed as a museum and done very nicely with an extremely eclectic selection of exhibits, everything from a mock up welsh cottage, stuffed puffins, human skeletons to a sock knitting machine (pictured below)....
We spent a happy educational hour looking at the slightly odd but interesting displays - nicely presented and often telling local stories - it was a good use of the space and only lacked a coffee shop to make it an excellent afternoon out.
