When I was younger, a good few years before I had Mia, my Dad used to be with someone down South Wales. We used to go down South quite often and always either on our way there or on our way back we would stop in Aberystwyth for a small break for food and most of the time get out of the car and go for a walk. At my age, I hated the walking part but looking back I have to admit the place was lovely and I wish I had appreciated it a bit more. I now haven't been there for over 7 years.
Saturday morning my partner told me we were going to Aberystwyth as he had seen a car for sale and wanted to have a look. I couldn't wait, so I got myself and Elliw dressed. Mia had gone to her Dads for the weekend. We got in the car within 40 minutes and off we went. When we arrived at the car garage, we took a test drive of the car and lets just say, we wont be calling back again after the mould and stink inside the car.
We then decided to go into Aberystwyth itself to get a McDonalds for Elliw and my partner and I went to Morrisons to get some sandwiches. We then went to find a space at the front of Aber to eat our lunch and off we went for a walk around the castle and then took Elliw to the swings. Elliw really did enjoy herself and she behaved so well, all day. Here are some more photos of our day.
Ahhh Aberystwyth! We used to go on holiday to Borth near Aberystwyth every year as a child. Used to take the caravan down there. Loved it!! Love your photos!! x
