We've had an eventful weekend. Warren and Steph, who we haven't see for a while, came to stay with their little girl, Daisy. It must have been a while because last time we saw Daisy she was a small cute 3-year old, climbing her first mountain, and now she's a tall, pretty 6-year old who... Continue Reading →
As I've been writing a review of some photos I've taken for my photography course and many of them were taken on a Welshot academy evening, I thought I'd share my experience of the event. The event was the Oil, smoke, water and macro - creative photography evening in Menai Bridge at the end of... Continue Reading →
We're off on holiday soon, so it's time to get the blog going again. John and I were both 50 earlier in the year, which we decided was a good excuse to treat ourselves to a trip to Iceland. I've always wanted to go there so I'm very excited... geysers, waterfalls, icebergs, glaciers, mountains, ice... Continue Reading →
The drive up to Wissant near Calais was uneventful. Last time we stayed at the camper van aire in Wissant it was every busy and we just managed to squeeze in. It was busy this time too but, thankfully, we got the last proper space. We then wandered into the town for lunch. It was... Continue Reading →
We were woken early by the alarm, pulled our clothes on, put the bed away, and left the aire to travel the 20 minutes to the Eurotunnel terminal. We checked in, collected a coffee and some breakfast and, when our time came, joined the queue to get on the train. After about 30 minutes, we... Continue Reading →
Our holiday is coming to an end and on Thursday we had a lazy day, while we planned how to spend our last few days. We spent some time sitting in the sunshine, before we went into the village for lunch... lovely galettes, then a crepe for John and an ice cream for me, washed... Continue Reading →
After a refreshingly better night's sleep, with no snorers, we set off on what was to prove to be an epic day for seeing the local wildlife, as well as more stunning scenery. This is rather a long blog entry because it was such a good day, and there are lots of photos because it... Continue Reading →
What an awful night's sleep! The German man who we'd been chatting to over dinner, in John's words, 'snored like a pig'! After an enjoyable dinner, we had an early night and I fell asleep by 9 o'clock and didn't hear some of the others in the dormitory come to bed. However, at 11 o'clock... Continue Reading →
We got up early after a rubbish night's sleep. Somehow, instead of putting the heating on for an hour or two to dry the washing and warm the room, we'd managed to leave it on over night. Although our bedroom was nice, we weren't impressed with the evening meal... tasteless soup and skinny chicken legs!... Continue Reading →
When the alarm went off at 7.15, we jumped out of bed ready to start our trek. By 8.30 we were ready and locked the van and left. Straight away, the path climbed steeply from the campsite, backwards and forwards in a series of zigzags, into the forest, with intermittent views over the campsite, the... Continue Reading →
