Another early run along the beach which probably won't do my hip much good but it's just so beautiful and the air is so fresh. Charles highly delighted at breakfast by discovering a cereal named JUST RIGHT (which of course he is all the time). Libby saw some innocuous looking olives in Newton Street which she couldn't resist (she's an olive freak) which transpired to be THE most expensive olives EVER @ £1.25 per olive! YIKES! Having pulled herself together we then drove through some wonderful Welsh countryside getting general panoramas for the Piper film.
And we still had time left in the day to visit the Centre for Alternative Technology near Macynlleth which was hugely disappointing - we both anticipated leaving feeling truly inspired - but it's all geared at children, half the exhibits didn't work, the gardens and polytunnels were not well tended - just an air of neglect where one would have expected youthful enthusiasm and technological advances. Libby deemed the wooden seat with coins between the slots worthy of a brief R&R though.

Called in at the Blasau deli in Machynlleth run by Edward Hammond to check they'd have pork pies for CM's lunch tomorrow (see http://piperpapers.blogspot.com 10 July 2008).
Good evening meal at the Wynnstay Hotel c/o Chef Gareth (no relation) although CM had been hoping the wood fired pizza oven would be operational.
