Niece Singing

I videoed my niece singing Nobody's perfect by Jessie J. My videoing skills are not very good but her singing is excellent.

London Zoo

We had a fun day out with my brother and his girlfriend. Our eldest and youngest both loved their fun uncle and his groovy hat.

Saturday 7 August 2010

We couldn't wait to start exploring so after tea we went out for an afternoon walk up the hill behind the house called Pen-y-pigyn. It's a lovely walk through trees and rocks but also very easy. The views of Corwen and the surrounding area are fantastic.

You could even just see Llys Maldwyn the holiday cottage peeking out from behind a tree with the river Dee and the Corwen Pavilion in the background:

We are here!

We have driven up on Saturday morning and despite some traffic at Llangollen the journey was trouble free. The cottage is lovely and the children have unpacked the stuff in their bedroom and have started playing board games and planning what to do over the next two weeks. There is a big box of leaflets that has many of the attractions nearby and they are compiling an itinerary - I expect that it will need trimming a bit.

We have brought our bikes and plan to do a bit of cycling - fortunately there is a lovely little yard behind the cottage where we can keep them safely. I expect we'll aslo be able to sit out there in the sun for an aperitif!

Here you can't see our bikes as we have hidden them under a tarpaulin.

North Wales Holiday

We are off on holiday to North Wales to stay in a holiday cottage in Corwen. The cottage is called Llys Maldwyn and we are going to spend two weeks relaxing as well as exploring the surrounding area.
