We drove to Fishguard late morning, collected Owain from his train and took him to 'The Shed' for lunch at Porthgaen, followed by a walk along clifftop to the north in perfect sunny weather. On the way back to Moylegrove we visited Parrog beach and had a drink at the Newport Yacht Club, sitting on a balcony overlooking the beach and river.
We stopped in Aberteifi to see if it was possible to get a useable signal to access the internet. It was, but the main difference was taking two minutes to load Google home page instead of twenty, as it had been in Fishguard at lunchtime. I wonder how many other people's holidays are being marred by not being able to keep in touch with family and friends.
We got back later than usual, and Owain cooked us an excellent pasta supper, which made up for the frustrations of the day. Before bedding down for the night we went for a twlight walk down the hill as far as the coast path, and caught fleeting glimpses of a handful of shooting stars, the tail end of the Perseid shower, but it was a dim reflection of last night's busy display in a totally clear moonless pitch black sky.
