The tallest tree in Ceredigion

We had a nice day yesterday. First we took Morgan swimming, which is something we have neglected to do for ages. He loved it and got on really well. He was quite happy floating around with his armbands on and climbing onto the various floats that were scattered around the pool.He was reluctant to get out even after an hour of spalshing about. Luckily the pool at clarach is pretty warm!

We then headed off towards Nanteos Mansion to find a geocache, again something we haven’t done for a while. The cache was found without too many problems and being a ‘Travel Bug Hotel’ it was full of little travel bugs to discover. Travel Bugs are trackable items that geocachers set off on missions to travel from cache to cache, often with a well defined goal. The Aber-cachers currently have a travel bug race taking place’.

Collins Tree Guide (Collins)Whilst there I also investigated the nearby nature reserve which is home to the tallest tree in Ceredigion, a Red Sequoia which although pretty tall is (in true Ceredgion fashion) pretty unspectacular!

Next it was off to Llety Parc in Aberystwyth for Sunday lunch before home to do lots of DIY jobs that Anna had been saving up for me!!.. We now have a shower curtain, french doors that stay open and functioning gates on the deck!! What more could you want from a Sunday!
