A long weekend inJuly

-

 We were lucky enough to have a long weekend at the Pines near the end of July.

So when we arrived late on the Thursday evening the scaffolding was still up. We have had the front of the flat painted.
The scaffolding was due to be taken down on Saturday so on Friday we climbed to the top to look at the roof and the view.

another job that needed doing this weekend was to put up the curtain in the lounge, (we were given the curtains by a friend)







A slice of blackcurrant cake before we tackle the making of the spare room bed...literally.


The lounge curtains.



After our chores we went for a walk from Porthmadog to Borth-y-Gest





Where we had a well deserved ice cream.









For Sale...a lovely shop 












The next day we went to Aberdyfi


























A bit more work back at the Pines (Blogger decided the above photos should go here!)





On the way back to The Pines we went to visit Bird Rock and Castell y Bere














We bought some scones from this lovely stall.


We also stopped off at Llangelynnin to photograph the fantastic yarn bombing.































On Sunday we went to Barmouth.









Then it was time to leave... until August.

    It will be wonderful when you can visit, without projects to complete. I totally enjoyed all your flower photos and the yarn bombing. I want to Christmas yarn bomb the trees in my garden, but am having difficulty finding patterns to get started. I am not creative enough to just start knitting or crocheting.

    Your photos are always so lovely. Thank for taking us along. You have such beautiful places to visit and walk and sightsee. Really enjoyable. And the yarnbombing is so fun. Take care.

 We managed a trip to the Pines in May and June during my half term holiday from school. A trip to Borth to meet up with a friend. It is a lovely drive there and back. Here are a few shots taken from a moving car! The next day we visited Harlech Castle. Lunch first at the excellent cafe there. They had a Medieval re-enactment group there. Then we had some face to face combat...all very entertaining. Then it was to Criccieth for a snifter. The next day we drove to Dolgellau Had a lovely lunch at this great cafe. Llyn Mwyngil St Mary's Church Tan-y-llyn We finished off the day at Tywyn with an ice cream! And we finally got the blind up in the dining room area. The next day I was feeling a little unwell so after a walk along the beach at Llandanwg and Hubby had his usual ice cream we packed up and headed for home.

 So we find ourselves owners of our very own Holiday home! Glan Gors is a small estate of modern homes, of various sizes built between 1975 and 1980. We have been holidaying here at a friend of Olly's mum's house for the past 14 years.  Over the next year we plan to breathe new life into this tired 2 bed-roomed apartment. We will share the renovation and the before and after photos. We have come to love this part of the United Kingdom and we are so excited to start this new adventure.

 A weekend in February. We drive down on the Friday evening. In time to catch a meal at The Grapes at Maentwrog. The next morning we checked on the daffodils we planted last October. I'm not sure why all my photos keep going on in the wrong order! Blogger playing up! So this was Our last day, the Monday. The weekend had been very grey and drizzly. A visit to Llandanwg. Lunch at Y Maes Cafe. The tiny church was open so we had a peep inside. The rooks were coming in to roost in the pine trees. This is the Paris map we framed and put up on Saturday morning. On the Sunday we went to Caernarfon A trip to Barmouth on Saturday. We couldn't see anything from the mountain that day! Brunch before we take a walk around the little alleyways behind the main street. So a flying visit on a drizzly weekend in February.
