Country Life

It was long over due to head back to welly Cymru, Aberhafesp.. in English that is Wales. Flash backs of the car trip home last time brought some unwelcome memory's but squishing around in all that mud and not doing much at all was what we were after.
It was the same awesome foursome from the France road trip a few weeks ago plus papa Waldron who met us at the cottage on Friday night.
It was still freezing cold in Wales and it always seems to be raining but we had bursts of sunshine that really made it feel a comfy 5 or so degrees....with expected snow and hail. All the more fun!
We spent most of the weekend going for nice walks in the surrounding hills, hassling the local donkeys in the paddock next door and eating yummy roasts, cheese and wine.
4 + 1 - Carly and her dad Mike showed us around the local hills, more like marshes with all the rain

Snugged up as usual

A lone tree on a hill

Tormenting the donkeys with a carrot tied on some string to a stick.

Carly thought it was the funniest thing she had ever seen!!!!!

Dan's off and away! They weren't the friendliest donkeys around

What's Wales without lots and lots of sheep?

...and a shaggerty haired person

Quintessential Wales, green rolling hills...

How nice is this! Toasting by the fire, having good chats and enjoying life in the countryTom the neighbour, and has been for the last 85 years. Can you believe he has never been further than 20miles from his house. A real character...

What a morning! It was so beautiful with the snow everywhere

Back to city life....
