Last Tango in Aberystwyth

Product Information

Calamity" Jane, originally from Machynlleth, is Louie's assistant, whom he met as a tout in the Bingo hall during Aberystwyth Mon Amour. Aged 18 by The Unbearable Lightness she is more optimistic than Louie, and seems to base her detective technique on films. She investigated the old fire at Nanteos for a strange client, Gabriel Bassett, to gain her detectives licence. Her relationship with Louie is purely platonic, but no other lover of hers has been mentioned so far.

While my friend attended his open day, my other friend and I spent a couple of hours exploring this seaside town. We stood on the Castle Hill, looking down the Ceredigion coast to the south and the grey outlines of the hills of southern Snowdonia to the north. The graffiti next to the A487 has been there since the 1960s, and it is regularly repainted. The wall has been vandalized several times, and copies of it have been made around Wales to keep reinforcing the message. Borth beach becomes Ynyslas beach near the northern end of the sands, and this section of the beach is surrounded by gorgeous dunes which are a haven for wildlife and rare orchids.

Whereas New Quay is about fish and chips, Aberaeron is about finer food, especially local seafood best enjoyed in the Harbour Master on the quayside. It’s also more of a shopping destination, with some excellent craft shops to explore. Aberystwyth – A Personal Reflection North Beach and Constitution Hill at dusk

About the contributors

One of my favourite drives in Wales is the continuation of the Elan Valley route, climbing to the head of the Ystwyth valley before descending between steep, bare mountains that are bleak in the rain and gloom, but beautiful in the sunshine. It was authorized by an Act of Parliament, thereby avoiding the need for local consultation, though there were many protests against it. Aberystwyth is a university town, and during term time its population increases by about 50%. It keeps the town young, and also by far the most cosmopolitan place in rural Mid Wales.

It’s more intimate than Aberystwyth, its two main beaches more sheltered prom the prevailing winds and weather. There are enough things to do in New Quay to stay for a week – it’s the most best place in Wales for dolphin watching, with a resident pod a few miles down the coast. The Corpse in the Garden of Perfect Brightness, 2020, Bloomsbury Publishing, ISBN 978-1-4088-9529-0 Follow the road around the end of the lake, continuing over the tiny bridge over the river Elan. At the top of the steep hill that follows, you could follow the sign pointing left to the ‘Mountain Road to Aberystwyth’, which takes you to our next location.Dai Brainbocs is the evil scientific genius who Louie runs into. Dai is obsessed with Myfanwy and abducted her twice to try to make her love him. Physically he stopped growing aged 14, and has to use a wheelchair to get about. A truly brilliant school boy genius who discovered Cantref Gwaelod, reads and writes runes and even faked his own death in Mon Amour, he is described as a danger to humanity. His Promethean urge to do the unthinkable makes him dangerous, as does his emotional and moral detachment from experiments (e.g. trying to clone Jesus). At the end of The Unbearable Lightness he had found a potential cure for Myfanwy, and had turned his hideout into Myfanwy's idea of heaven as described in a school essay she wrote aged 9. What happened to him after he cured Myfanwy is not explained in the latest book, but he may have been returned to Shrewsbury prison. O levels and a grant system (instead of Top-up fees) still exist for students. Aberystwyth has a University, as does Lampeter, although the latter seems to specialise in undertaking and religious subjects ('media studies' for example refers to mediums) – the real University of Wales, Lampeter was founded as a theological college. Louie's education involved Latin implying he grew up under a Grammar school system, but he is one of the last to do this. Llunos, who is older than Louie, reads Ulrico in the original Latin.
