 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.

 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 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.
