Llanon (also spelt Llan-non) is a village in Ceredigion, Wales. It adjoins the village of Llansantffraid on the coast of Cardigan Bay, 5 mi (8.0 km) north of Aberaeron and 11 miles (18 km) south of Aberystwyth on the A487 road. It is situated on a raised beach. The village is named after the church of Saint Non (llan-Non), the mother of Saint David. By tradition, St David was brought up in Llanon.
The village prospered in the 18th and 19th centuries with industries rooted in the land and on the sea. In 1861, shipbuilding employed 130 men out of a population of 1,300. It was at this period that much of the village was developed; several Nonconformist chapels and a school were built, and the village enjoyed a large range of shops and services including five pubs and a brewery, three blacksmiths, shoemakers, wheelwrights and a bakery. The primary school, Ysgol Gynradd Llannon, overlooks the village and Cardigan Bay.
Cardigan Bay (Welsh: Bae Ceredigion) is a large inlet of the Irish Sea, indenting the west coast of Wales between Bardsey Island, Gwynedd in the north, and Strumble Head, Pembrokeshire at its southern end. It is the largest bay in Wales.
Cardigan Bay has numerous beaches, and a unique marine life. Much of the coast surrounding the bay is fertile farmland, dotted with towns and seaside resorts such as Fishguard, New Quay, Aberaeron, Llanon, Aberystwyth, Borth, Aberdyfi, Tywyn, Barmouth, Porthmadog, Criccieth and Pwllheli on the Cambrian Coast.
Major rivers flowing into the bay include the Afon Glaslyn, Teifi, Rheidol, Dyfi, Aeron, Dysynni, and Mawddach.
Until the early 20th century, Cardigan Bay supported a strong maritime industry. Cardigan is located at the mouth of the River Teifi – hence the Welsh name, Aberteifi (Mouth of the Teifi), and at the turn of the 19th century, the heyday of the port, it was a more important port than Cardiff. At this time more than 300 ships were registered at Cardigan—seven times as many as Cardiff, and three times as many as Swansea.

A small village on Cardigan Bay - famous in the mid 19th Century for shipbuilding. Many of the properties around the village have names connecting them with ships or the sea. A walk around the local church graveyard reveals a higher than average percentage of sea captains as residents.
I've just come off the shingle beach in Llanon. I lost the Path somewhere along the line. this is one of the things I've found in Ceredigion sometimes the signage isn't as good as it could be. The sign I did follow took me right up to an A road, which was really busy. I got fed up of following that and saw a lane down towards the beach. I got down to a metal bridge that went on to the beach. Walked along the beach for 5 minutes or so... Gorgeous sound of the waves crashing onto the shingle. As soon I got to the second metal bridge it brought me back up onto here and picked up the signs again. Where I went wrong I have no idea. What I'd say to you - if you're on the path and it's taking you away from the coast is use your intuition, follow where you think the Path could be because...
A very deep low pressure system is currently located off the coast of Scotland which is generating high winds and torrential rain storms. Although at least 500 miles from the centre of the system, we have had some of these torrential rain and wind storms as this video shows.

Are you sleeping, I wish I was
Are you dreaming, of someone to love
Do you know what I'm thinking but I guess you don't
Cause you'd have to be around to hear my thoughts
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Somebody else
It's funny how you destroyed the better part of me
There's nothing left so there's nothing anybody can see
It's been 6 months now and you think you found everything
In a day I wasn't there, in a way you didn't care
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Somebody else
I didn't settle, I just got lazy
But I could see where you'd make the mistake
I didn't try, I just gave up
It was better to leave than stay
It's easy when you're leaving
It's harder when you try to return
But I haven't got that far yet
And that's a lesson I never want to learn
I should know better and so should you
I m exactly where you left me
There was nothing better to do
Are you still sleeping?
Are you still dreaming?
I m finally leaving but your still mixing
Tomorrow's another day, and today is yesterday
And I don't care what you think you have to say
Tomorrow comes and today is gone
And I'm sick and tired of everyone trying to make me
Somebody else
