Well so far it has been wonderful. Not many people around, plenty of sheep and lo and behold an absense of kids. I do come out in a bit of a rash when we drive past a school though, mind you that could be something to do with the inhospitable midges around here. I think I've discovered a new constellation up my arms. If I joined up all the spots I'm sure they'd make a good Blackpool Tower.
Enough of the rambling, let me tell you what we have been up to. Our first stop was the Brecons and of course we had to climb up Pen-Y-fan. Forgot to take TC with us, Nik reacons he is scared of heights( of course he is making it up, he is building up a simmering hatred of him, he's just jealous. By the way TC is my school mascot and must have his photo taken in unusual places).
Canoed along the Monmouthshire canal, idyllic, lots of fluffy ducklings and cygnets plodding along. Wiggled our way through the Black Mountains and onto the coast. By this time Wales was living up to its name and was very soggy. Onto West Wales, as they

Puffin spotting
say just like Cornwall without the throngs and commercialism. took a boat trip out to Skomer island and turned into Bill Odie for a while we now know how to identify a Puffin but that is as far as it goes. There were lots of brown gulls, black ones and big white ones.
Did our cultural bit in St Davids and visited the cathedral very awe inspiring but also depressing, full of dead people. Next stop Snowdonia and climbing to the top of Snowdon for my birthday. What a lucky girl, I'm sure other wives get jewels and chocolates.
Keep logging in.

I remember that one. Bloody long walk. Had to rescue Katharine S. with a snickers bar before she collapsed from hypoglycaemia. Remember Nik. or were you too busy running up and down hills with Martin W. or perhaps you were playing 20 questions. For the record June, the answer is Paul Harradines semen! Missing you already

Youre still traveling North as I write. Just thought I'd let you know all the flies have gone now, so can I strongly recommend you have a shower before you leave Wales. Regards from Bontgoch
