Welsh Adventure....Part 3

Last post from Wales. I promise. On day 3 we headed to Tenby. Although the weather was pretty bad we took a wander along the beach anyway and snapped a couple of photos.

 After our walk we headed to the Tudor Merchant's House which is a National Trust property in Tenby but I didn't take any photos as it was quite small and we weren't in there very long. We were soon finished with Tenby so we headed out to the Stackpole Estate to take a walk. We had another car picnic and then set off wandering. It was a really pretty walk along the river and across the bridge...

 Unfortunately we got a bit lost and our way kept being blocked by various ropes. So we took one last photo and headed back the way we came...

 That was the end of our three days alone. The next few days were a lot slower paced luckily as we were knackered from all of our adventuring. I did find time to grab another jumping photo of Matt on the beach...

 Take a stroll around Colby Woodland Garden together...

 and walk along the nearby beach of Amroth...

 Also took some flower photos...

 So that's it. The end of my Welsh adventures...until the next time.

A few more photos from Day 2 of Wales

Welsh Adventure...Part 2

I've finally got around to writing up day 2 of our Welsh adventure. I took so many photos on this day that I've have to post some as a separate post to avoid this one becoming ridiculously long and annoying everybody. We headed to Mwnt beach on our second morning in Wales and it was beautiful. Windy but beautiful. Matt immediately wanted to climb up the nearest hill and although I wasn't too keen to start with I'm glad he convinced me because the view was incredible. Here's Matt having a well deserved break at the top to admire it...

 And I managed to get a photo of the two of us at the top although due to the dodgy camera placing to protect it from the wind you can’t see much of the view in this self timer shot…

 Once we got down from the hill we headed to the car for a little car picnic and then headed down to the beach. Once down there we realised there’s not much to do on the beach in bad weather without any small children so we quickly became bored. We admired the view and messed around for a while before heading to our next destination. Here’s an example of the silly beach photos we took…

 Destination two of the day was St Dogmaels Abbey. We were the only people there so once again had fun running around and being idiots. And once again I took lots of photos.

 Then we were off to Cilgerran Castle. It was a really busy day! The weather had started to pick up by this point so by the time we got to the castle it was quite sunny. There was lots of running around to be done here as there were lots of steps and towers even though the castle is a ruin. Here’s a photo of the two of us in one of the towers…

 The castle was our last visit of the day. We managed three places and only spent about £2! I couldn’t believe it. I promise that there will only be one more of these posts. They’re here more for me to be able to look back at. I’ll finish this post with a couple of jumping photos of Matt and I at Cilgerran Castle…

Welsh Adventure

Ok I know that I've been back a while and I still haven't written about our little holiday yet but this has been my first day off since we got back. We were staying at Matt's Mum's whilst she was away on holiday so we could dog sit and we had many little day trips planned. On our first full day in Wales we headed to St Davids and looked around the Bishops Palace. We spent ages there running all over and climbing up and down all of the steps like a couple of children! I also took loads of photos, unfortunately Matt's camera died after about ten minutes but I took enough for the two of us!

 

After Bishops Palace we headed into the cathedral to have a look around. I don't really like being in cathedrals or churches as I always feel like a naughty child. I love the architecture though so I often have to brave it. Look at the ceiling in the one we went in though...it's amazing!

 Other than that in our first day we did a bit of food shopping in a nearby town and took the dogs for a walk. Here's a cute photo I snapped of Matt whilst dog walking...

 I think that I'm going to have to split this Welsh adventure up a bit as I've already posted so much just on the first day! I thought I was being so good, I managed to only post a few of the hundreds of photos I took. I'll try and write the next part up as soon as possible before I forget everything we did!

Sunday Adventure 08.05

This week we desperately wanted to see Thor and since we're going to Wales in a few days we decided we wouldn't go out adventuring in the countryside. So instead we started our day with breakfast out and coffee (I had pancakes!)...

After breakfast was all gobbled up we went to a morning showing of Thor. Unfortunately we had to watch it in 3D which I really didn't want to do because it always makes me feel sick. I really enjoyed Thor though and the 3D wasn't too bad. Once the film was over we took a little wander and ended up in a nearby pub where we settled down to a couple of pints and much chatting...

 After more wandering we headed into the park and stumbled upon music playing in the bandstand.

 After listening to the wonderful music for a while in the sunshine our thoughts turned to home and chores that awaited us. Oh we did take several cheesy photos (of course) and although none of the smiley ones came out we got a couple of good silly ones....

Sunday Adventure 01.05.11

It was a slightly different Sunday adventure this week. I'd been working on Saturday and then been out during the evening for a work drink thing so I was pretty tired and hungover. We had family coming to visit as well so we were up early and headed out for breakfast. After breakfast we went for a wander and ended up in a park which was holding a dog fancy dress competition....surreal right? I managed to grab a quick picture but not a very good one I'm afraid.

 As I said it was a pretty odd experience. We also found a chair in a graveyard which called for photos of course. I took loads of Matt (he's turned into such a poser) but I like this relaxed photo the best...

 By this time my hangover was over and I was ready for refreshment so we headed into the nearest pub for a quick pint before lunch. I managed to snap this photo whilst we were in there...

 Our cheesy couple photo was extra cheesy for some reason...I'm not even sure if I like myself in this photo so you should feel lucky that you get to see it!

 So once again another awesome Sunday adventure even though we didn't even leave town!
