And to make it worse, I had a new halti which was uncomfortable so we had a battle - me getting it off my nose, she getting it on my nose. We'd arrived in Cemaes on a misty morning and, of course, she needed to use the WC before we started on the walk round to Cemlyn Bay where we planned to meet him for lunch.

This time we dropped down to an old porcelain works at Porth Llanlleiana where there were more ruins (and not just her when she saw the steps up the other side. And so it continued - up and down until we finally me...
