so ive started to learn to drive so i can have road trip accross europe, thing is ive been riding motorbikes and bicycles for years, so i have some pretty bad habits when im driving. not so bad habits as that i lean round corners...... although.... maybe i do... but i do scare the living daylights out of my instructor everytime i decide i want to pass a parked car, i seem to have no sense of how wide the car is, i either think its the width of a hummer/lorry or i think its the width of a bike... ive only mounted the curb twice!!! but yeah back to the road trip idea, i want to drive and my fiance wants to go to balognea (how ever its spelt) to go to an art thing, ... read more

Last bank holiday of the year and as the days wind down to the chill of autumn it is obligatory to make the most of that last long weekend before Christmas as it’s a long, lonely stretch to the end of the year when you don’t have holiday left. August Bank Holiday is about the hiking trip and this year that meant the Gower Peninsula for a little hiking, dancing, seal hunting (purely in a failed photographic sense) and sea kayaking. Accommodation was at the YHA Gower Bunkhouse just over the sand dunes from the beach at Port Eynon. Great location set in the heart of Gower and an easy commute to our 2 targets for the weekend - Rhossili Bay and the "beat the tide" run out to Worms Head (Day 1), a relaxed prance ... read more

Well the bus from the city to Belfast airport was fine, got there and chacked in with time for breakfast...got to Cardiff and after a shuttle bus, 3 trains, a bus and a walk we made it home! The airport is only 40 miles away but took 4 hours :( Can't complain about the lack of a lift as Paul started his new job today so had a good excuse for not picking us up I suppose. Short busy weekend at home before we're off again on Monday..!... read more

Well after 6 years we have decided to sell our apartment in Sofia. Bought in 2005 as a get away to ski as often as possible and to enjoy the city. The hoped for cheap flights from Cardiff and Bristol never happened and though Wizz air from Luton is quite convenient it doesn't allow for an unplanned get away weekend. It will be a very sad day on 11th/12th August when we lock up for the last time. Has it been a worthwhile investment? Well we haven't made any money but what we have made are fabulous experiences and memories which can never be replaced and would not change a thing. Only got to hope the cash deal goes smoothly! ... read more

This morning we set off for the Gower Peninsula. We decided to head right out to the end of the peninsula and then work or way back around towards Swansea. The SatNav was duly programmed for Rhossili and off we went. This destination had us setting out over the top of the hill from Bailea towards the A4067, rather than down the hill to the A40. I was keenly following the route on our AA road atlas - partly because it helps me to stay awake, but mainly because I am interested to see what roads the SatNav takes us on compared with what I think looks like the best route??!! We started out exactly how I would have expected - straight down the A4067 until we reached the M4. After following the M4 (towards Carmarthen) ... read more
