1st day back at school
Hi there
Their faces said it all! Ffion and Mari went back today and despite being excited at some aspects of returning to school, they were broadly non plused!
Where has this 6 weeks gone?
This year again, we holidayed from home, which meant that we were at the beck and call of the weather... oh heck...no beach!
We had great fun! So many memorable things, but the highlight for me was split between camping in the Brecon Beacons and spending the day at Castell Carreg Cennen near Llandeilo.
We have everything in Wales...just look at the pictures!
Except the weather of course...
Love,
Wayne
Setting up camp!
Wow!
How do you get in?

First snow brings chaos but fun!
Hi there,
This weekend saw the first snowfall of the year. The surprising thing is, is that we never have snow before December, so this was a real treat!! Being on a weekend made it simply wonderful.
I have attached a few photos of our 2 day sledging fun. The images are simply stunning and captures nature at its very best (and the kids of course!)
We had a mixture of snow mobiles, but can honestly say for soft snow, polystyrene surf boards and fertiliser bags (filled with hay or straw - thanks to Grandad) are the best to glide over the powdery stuff, whilst still giving you some degree of control!
The other point about snow is that it brings the opportunity for hot chocolate! When you are cold to the core, nothing else will do. Add to that 2 lots of home soup, then life begins to be complete!
Finally, add the fact that Ffion and Mari's school fair was on Saturday, created a real Christmas buzz and couple that with Ffion's school choir winning a Christmas carol competition late on Sunday made it a real weekend to remember!!
Thank you good fairies everywhere!!
Love,
Joe
