Sunshine at last!

Tuesday 7th May 2024

I had a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend!  I didn't think it was going to work out that way on Friday, it rained constantly all night, every time I woke up, it was still raining, the owner had already said they'd tow us out the field if we got stuck!  Thankfully it stopped Saturday and we had a slow start to our day, drove over to Pistyll Rhaeadr to see the waterfall, wasn't sure if I'd be able to walk but I was good, we walked the path up to the top of it enjoying some time outdoors.  Only I could forget good footwear for a weekend in wales! I have no idea where my walking boots are, maybe I left them in Ireland, I don't know but my old working boots did the job and Sunday I wore sandals! 

The food all weekend was excellent but the highlight for me was the warm scone I had from the cafe at the waterfalls, it was so good!  

 

I didn't track a thing all weekend but my app is open again now.  Sunday we went to canoe over the Pontcysyllte aqueduct at Llangollen 307m long and 38m high, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is the tallest aqueduct in the world.  After we'd done that, we walked over it too, the views were stunning, thoroughly enjoyed it.  Outdoor activities | TNR Outdoors

A wonderful unrushed weekend, lots of sleep, eating and resting, the weather Sunday was glorious, sitting outside, enjoying some sunshine for a change!  

Was the weekend perfect?  Hell NO, what chance is of that with a teenager in tow and two know it all adults!  We survived though and all round it was a very, good way to spend a weekend.   I don't think he'll want to do many weekends with us going forward so I made the most of this one, we're boring aren't we!  I only managed to get a couple of photos with him, which I'm not allowed to share but he's pulling a face that makes him look like a murderer anyways!

Looking forward to going back to work today, been up since 4.15 thanks to Minnie to door handle jumping loony cat, not looking forward to tackling the kitchen, there's not a clean plate in there but on a positive I did all the clothes washing when we got back yesterday.  I need to go shopping too, we don't have much even in the freezer.  At least I've only got to feed the two of us, Aldi it is!

Here's to getting back on track, mwah, luv ya

Love me x
