Narrowboat Adagio

This is Steve & Viv Carter's log of the trips and travails on the narrowboat Adagio – liveaboards from October 2015. Then back to the shore, in Trefin, Wales from November 2019. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)” narrowboatadagio@gmail.com cranog5@gmail.com

Winter Escape – more . .

So where are we? Trefin – house is Hafan – the big one, centre right photo

And zoomed out – gives you some idea of proximity of the sea

A few cottages going for sale – this one opposite Hafan, up the valley

Quite nice – annex too – all for £585,000

How the other live, eh? Blinis for tea.

Lots of snowdrops on a walk from the woollen mill, down to the two beaches; Aberbach & Abermawr

Lots and lots of snowdrops (near Melin Tregwynt)

Footpath to Aberbach beach

Two cottages on this path – this the last one . .

Didn’t think it was for sale but lovely position

acres of bloomin gorse

Aberbach beach – Toby swim – tricky getting us across here

Short walk round to the other beach – Abermawr

Wonderful beach, submerged, petrified forest plus failed terminal for Brunel’s transatlantic rail terminal

Meanwhile, the woollen mill – Melin Tregwynt has given its cafe a wonderful makeover and is open everyday! Time for some cawl.

The former cafe was very dated and small – this one is much more chic

with lots of local scenes

and the shop . . . all homespun . . woollen blankets £260!
