An ode to the Fediverse:
@TwoClownsEating got me thinking seriously about visiting Portmeirion. And @Jess.Stetson clinched it by offering me a lift there. It was as beautiful and strangely interesting as they said, and amazing to start the visit with fresh feet since I didn't have to walk part of the way there.

My first encounter with a European robin and they came right up to my camera!

Jellyfish selfie!
@dillyd If not made to be poked with finger, why look so pokable?! It's not fair.
@nixanadoo how about jiggled with foot?
@dillyd Only with the right shoes! But damn it, it looks like you could just scoop it up in both hands and moosh on it.
@dillyd Haha! We are having a parallel day! A jellyfish ussy with @helenclayton at Barmouth Beach.
@IcooIey
Too funny! The coincidences keep coming!
@helenclayton
@IcooIey @dillyd @helenclayton
“ussy” 🧐🧐
@Moss @dillyd @helenclayton well it’s not a selfy?
@IcooIey @dillyd @helenclayton oh I know what you meant, it’s just also part of a lewd internet joke format

@EdCates
Why didn't I think of this?! Anyway, glad that you did!
@dillyd Puns and portmanteaus are the stuff of life. 😄
@dillyd European robins tend to be friendly. Also smaller than the North American ones.
@dillyd in my experience robins are not camera shy, quite the opposite in fact.

@dillyd

There's one in my garden that follows me around hoping I turn up worms or grubs

@Phiznlil they're so cute! I would dig up worms for them any day.

@dillyd

do you know @BathNature ? hast THE best robin posts here. they eat right out of the hand!!!

@_maleficentgirl
Ooh very nice! I wished I had some food with me. Pretty sure this one would have perched on my hand for an offering.
@BathNature

@dillyd @BathNature

pack a mealworm-snack next time ;-)

@_maleficentgirl
Mealworm-snack: don't leave home without it!
@BathNature
@dillyd Cute! I think pigeons in York are bigger, or it's some other kind of bird. Otherwise haven't seen any others up close. A robin would be a treat.
@dillyd very cute, aren't they?
@dillyd That's even better than getting the bus!
@sheepnik it was so cool! First time I met a Fediverse person in real life and she was so kind and generous!

@dillyd @TwoClownsEating

Looks like the beginning of an interesting quest..lol pretty 😊

@dillyd @TwoClownsEating @Jess.Stetson
Frankly shocked to not find a single reference to the TV show The Prisoner which was filmed there, though mind you the sixties are increasingly far away.

Did you stay in one of the quaint cottages the village keeps to rent out to visitors?

@DenOfEarth
I didn't stay there, just a day visit. There's a whole shop dedicated to The Prisoner merch. I never saw the show but the merch looked cool.
