another garden
Just thought of one that really was beautiful - The Generalife in The Alhambra - and Cordoba had some fantastic gardens . Forgot them

vaccines
Not sure about that one Bob . Europe might re-open but at the moment the PCR tests are the problems . Costs too much for a two week holiday . If they get rid of the testing before you leave and come back then holidays might be a possibility . Sadly we are not optomistic here in the UK . We think that the vaccine passport wont be enough . We will need to prove we are not carrying Covid . I go for my second vaccine on Saturday . Jsut hope that will be enough . At the moment things are not good here

the sheep and the mammoth
You cannot keep the sheep and the mammoth apart for long .

Llandudno
Stop it you are making me jealous . I used to work in Llandudno and walk up the Orme or on the pier in my lunchtimes . I like Llandudno and Conwy . Portmeirion is lovely and you cannot fault Bodnant and Conwy castle . We have just been down to Calverhill the other side of Whitchurch to my daughters . That was lovely and our first trip out since release from lockdown . It was lovely walking with her and catching up on gossip . Looks like we might have cancel our Tunnel on the 9th June . I doubt we will be let into France . We are looking to move it again for the fourth time or is it the fifth . September this time fingers crossed . Enjoy the break

pilgrims way
Thought you might like it Bob . There was a little box on the gate with the stamp inside ready for passing pilgrims .

mad mad world
Llandudno is nice though. I used to love going on courses to Colwyn Bay , Llandudno and Bangor . We managed to go out today and headed for Talacre and couldnt park for people . It was heaving . Sorry to hear that you wont be able to get to Spain . I wonder if we ever will get back to normal . Work want me to return to the office but as I am now in Wales it is never going to happen . I am hoping to put my manager off until June and then see what happens next . I dont want to retire but Glenn does not fancy a trip to Chesterfield for me to work every few weeks . Have you had your vaccine yet ? We got our first back in February . We were hopeful of getting away once we had the vaccine .

its a mad mad world
I find it ironic but the rich will still travel . Not much point renting out when no-one can travel. It really is irritating me . I have been fed up for a long time and getting more and more angry about it all. Agree its mad at the moment . My daughter called round a few weeks ago when they went to a funeral in WRexham . They sneaked over the border from England and called on their way home . First time I have seen her for over a year . You must be really hacked off not being to get to Spain . We have booked the tunnel for June but that will get cancelled for the fourth time . We are keeping busy doing the house up but we really need a holiday . We have tried to find a way to get out in the van but are not prepared to pay some of the high prices for campsites when we dont want the facilities . We have cancelled our four weeks holiday in April - I still have two weeks I can use but cannot see any point going anywhere . The only place that welcomes us in Powys and done it so many times. Life seems very unfair doesnt it ?

sEPTEMBER
There is talk here of a covid vaccination passport but whether that comes to fruition will be interesting . I hope so although we are not sure if and when we will get the second dose due to the EU and the games they are playing with the Astra Zeneca vaccine . I think if we get away we will be quarantined even with the vaccine for 10 days when we return and I guess the same is happening and probably will happen with overseas tourists coming here . At the moment everyone is being shoved in a hotel for 10 days with massive fines if they leave the confines of their rooms . Protests are going on about civil liberties. Everywhere is shut and Scotland and Wales more strict than England . I can only travel 5 miles from home . I can only exercise from my front door back to my front door and the only light at the end of the tunnel is I got my hair cut . Funny how little things cheer you up .
