Welsh Wanderings

I'm back!  We've had a few lovely days away in Wales and as you can see from some of the photos it wasn't always raining!

We've seen lots of ......

Castles


 and Abbeys



We've walked along a few of these........



and seen lots of.........


 hills and mountains


and even been up one of them


on this little train


I've don't think I've ever seen so much Valerian


or so many Foxgloves on roadsides, on the edges of fields, by stone walls  and down by the sea


Hopefully, I'll be back with more later!  I'll also try and catch up with all your posts that I've missed whilst I've been away over the next few days but first there are piles of washing to do and we have to get ready for our old conservatory, which has a leaking roof, a damp wall and rotting window frames, to be taken down and a new one put up in its place, I'm not looking forward to the mess!  I may be gone sometime.

  1. Welcome back Rosie. It looks like you have had a lovely break in Wales. I hope that things go smoothly as they can with replacing your conservatory. I am sure it will all be worthwhile! x

  4. Wales is such a beautiful place to visit, all the castles, the rugged coast line, the open countryside. Your pictures are great.

  5. Glad you were OK with the weather! I was worried for you! I do think the press make things sound much worse than they are most of the time. xxxx

  8. The second castle in Caernarfon, but is the first one Penrhyn?
    I definitely see Criccieth Castle and Cnicht.
