There&#8217;s loads to catch up with but we picked strawberries and red-currants, fixed the water feature, mowed the lawn, weeded and generally tidied up as well as planted a few things out that had been a little neglected in the greenhouse. \u00a0Anna managed to fit in a little snooze as well.<\/p>\n<p>The sun had finally come out and with no wind it was lovely out there. Perfect for some outside dining &#8211; Something we rarely get to do here in windswept West Wales.\u00a0I fired up the Barbecue and we had a quiet little dinner al fresco in the sunshine. Morgan then popped next door to play cards, Anna snoozed and I caught up with the Tour de France and the Formula 1 qualifying.<\/p>\n<p>When Morgan came home he\u00a0informed\u00a0us of some fireworks in Borth that were to be the culmination of the events that had been going on for the Borth Railway Station 150th Anniversary Gala Celebrations. We decided to pop down and have a look as it was such a nice evening. After a quick look at the beach we wandered down to the staiton.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13897\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/anna_morgan.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13897\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13897\" alt=\"Anna and Morgan\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/anna_morgan-550x366.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/anna_morgan-550x366.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/anna_morgan-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/anna_morgan.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13897\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anna and Morgan<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the station there were bands playing in the marquee, a laser show and video on huge screens draped over the station and people generally having a relaxed and chilled time.
