Aberaeron Today!




Today I was Sharkfishing in a little village on the West Wales Coast, called Aberaeron. He gets about this fellow! Since starting his blog in the chilly winds of January he has been to Liverpool, Darlington, Bath, Bristol, London and now Aberaeron. 
Shark Fishing all the way.
Sitting beside the harbour observing two little rowing boats each with three occupants. Man, Woman and younger woman in different boats rowing out to yachts. Then around the quay came a rowing boat called 'Seren Aeron' with five occupants. They got out, all ages, four men and a woman. The most Captainly of them got out and went to fetch a wooden trolley on wheels from the top of the jetty.
"Excuse me where is the town?" asked a lady. "Straight up the path and then across the wooden bridge". People park on South Beach and then walk into town. It is very quaint and it is very chocolate box. Inside the 'Seren Aeron' were the words Irish Challenge and this made me think was this one of the boats that cross the Irish Sea from Aberystwyth.

What I did notice and had noticed before is that people stay in their groups. Dotted along the quay were bods with feet hanging down. Everyone out enjoying the sunshine but obliviously unaware of everyone else. 
It would be unusual to get an individual 'Hail Fellow, Well Met' who could act as a bonding agent of sorts. A Jester, a clown or fool who didn't care what people thought of him. Perhaps it would be an easier job for a woman. Someone who would get people talking!


 Maybe that will be done by the Welsh Cob Show tomorrow on Alban Square.


I shall be anti-social fellow, unwell met as I pass through in the morning on a coach back to the 'Diff'. I think my days of festivals and shows are over. Too many bods for this Introvert.
