October weekend

-

 With one thing and another we didn't get chance to go to The Pines in September but we  squeezed a visit in at the end of October for a few days.




We met up with friends for a walk along Harlech Beach and back along the top road to Harlech.





And then we all went for tea at The Grapes in Maentwrog









We have a new painting for the Pines. A painting done by my lovely Mother in Law of Bird Rock. Here it is standing below the other painting by her already hanging at the pines.


The next day was showery and we decided to go to Llandudno

A ride on the big wheel...



A walk along the pier...


A play in the arcade...


and sheltering from the rain!



Then as the sun set we stayed to watch the final finish ramp parade of the Rally Car Championship.









We have another picture ready to go up in the lounge. A reproduction of a travel poster.
The following have gone on back to front! (why does Blogger do that?)

This is the last day we were there. We went for lunch and a walk at Llandanwg.























Y Maes Cafe...the best cheesy beans ever!

That morning we planted 80 daffodil bulbs in the grass bank across from the flat. We should see daffodils next spring from the lounge and bedroom windows!

Then of course these are also back to front...the day before finished in Harlech after an hour or two in Criccieth,




I had a hot chocolate from Cadwaladers but Olly had an ice cream!













Before Criccieth we had been to Borth-y-Gest for lunch











The Sea View Cafe, in Borth-y-Gest

So that is the end of our little trip to The Pines for October. We plan to pop down in November for a weekend and already booked a cat sitter for in between Christmas and New Year!
edited. We have had to sort out my mother in laws house these past few weekends so we are unable to visit The Pines. We are looking forward to the break between Christmas and New Year still.

    So much to see and do over there. You always take the loveliest pictures. Always love seeing the crochet toppers on display. The Pines is a very cozy and nice place to be.

    I for one still do not like the changes made to the blogger platform. Nothing works as easily or straightforward as it used to.

    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.

 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 las 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.

 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.
