North Wales Trip - June 2012

Been meaning to post these pics on here for awhile but as usual, life got in the way. I wouldn't mind but distractions haven't been that exciting in fact, they have been downright crap up until recently. I am trying to get my head back on track and doing nice things such as this certainly helps. Blogging a go go resumes...!!


What a great Jubilee week Mat and I had. Can't believe it was only a month ago. I had never been to north Wales and I was looking forward to this trip very much.  

It was great and we had a fantastic time - I even got to climb my first 'mountain' - Tryfan Bach. It was a bit hairy and I got a little tearful halfway up but I got there in the end. Go me!! I fell in love with the National Slate Museum (seriously, you HAVE to go!) and got to ride on a steam train for the first time. We went for amazing walks in beautiful scenery, fell in love with Bodnant Garden, ate lovely food and got to see some good castles. And we stayed in the most wonderful B&B, The Tal Y Bont Country House where the hospitality we received was superlative. The only negative was the weather as it did rain an awful lot but this was never going to be a suntan holiday so this wasn't an issue. Apart from our walk through Ceunant Cynfal Nature Reserve where we got a little lost at the end and had to take a detour amongst some sheep in an open field. We had no shelter from the rain and got absolutely soaked!

My humour may have failed me then but looking back at these photos just reminded me what a great time we had overall.


Rwy'n caru Cymru.  Apparently this means 'I love Wales' in Welsh so I apologise now if it isn't!
