Mamta

Welcome back, no worries its been a little quiet today !

Steve

Where about's did you visit in Wales?

We went to North Wales and did a circle. This included Snowdonia, Bodnant, Bets-y-Coed, Anglesey, South Stack, Llandudno and many more, wild life/nature stop-overs. We had a lovely time, stopping wherever fancy took us, stopping at some lovely B & Bs. We fisished with the city of Chester and theh drove home.

mamta

in one day ???

Steve

LOL! No, 6 days. Does that mean you did not even notice that I wasn't here ;-)?

Mamta

Sounds like fun! I am from North Wales and I live about 20 minutes away from Llandudno.

Mamta I knew you hadn't been on for a while but the way it was posted made it sound like you had a mammoth day out taking in all those things !.. lol

Steve

Hey John, we passed through Llandudno. I could have arranged to meet with you if I had known!

I couldn't drive all that way in 1 day Steve and see all those places, impossible!!

I can just picture you driving to all of those places in a day - it adds a whole new definition to a ride out.

I don't live in Llandudno I live in Abergele which is about 20 minutes drive from Llandudno. You would probably have driven past it on the A55.

Did you visit Beddgelert in Snowdonia? We go camping there sometimes.

Is that the place where this guy killed his dog wrongly?

Mamta

Yeah.

Yes, we wnet there and walked along the river to the dog's grave :-)!

funny name for a dog?

Need to know more please.

Just had a look as I presumed this must be some old folklore or something...

Thanks Steve thats cheered me up no end Feeling a little flat today as my son has just returned to Japan after a 2 weeks stay in the UK. Back to work on Monday for me. Probably do some cooking today to cheer myself up. Matt(my son)is a foodie too and made a beautifully elegant baked cheesecake for the family yesterday - will need to replicate it for my colleagues next week as its my birthday on 22nd July.

Thanks John, feel as though I've visited in person - might decide to go one day.

Hello Patitie

It is always sad when children leave, especially if they are going to be away for a while. Hope you can communicate with SKYPE or some similar video link.

I hadn't been to north Wales, since before Kavey was born. I had forgotten how lovely it is and friendly the people are :-). You should go and visit it.

Mamta

So how far away is North Wales from where you are Mamta? You up north or down south?

Only north. Went up to Anglesey, down to port meridian, top of snowdonia, sort of full circle of the north Wales. Also went to Bets-y-coed and Bodant garden of course and a few natur reserve sort of place. We saw the breeding pair of Osprey, though they very far off from the hide. They had a live video link at the place, very nice indeed. It was a lovely trip.

Mamta

Mamta, I meant how far away from North Wales do you live, and do you live in the North of Britain or the South.

I should read the question more carefully! I live in Bedfordshire John.

Mamta

So quite a bit of driving then.

Yes indeed, but it was not too bad, thanks to SAT NAV.
