Flying Home

May 17, 2019June 2, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post the end of our trip. The morning of the 15th of May dawned early, we got up at 3:30a to make a 6:15a departure out of Manchester Airport. Our cab was early and driven by a very nice young man from Somalia. We chatted most of … Continue reading Flying Home

Leaving The Old Vicarage and Heading to Manchester

Our stay at The Old Vicarage is over. We will miss Helen and Tim and their lovely hospitality and food. We can absolutely recommend staying here if you find yourself in the area. They are also cyclist and walker friendly. Tim is an avid cyclist himself! On to Manchester. We were having issues getting checked … Continue reading Leaving The Old Vicarage and Heading to Manchester

Our last day in Wales spent mostly in England

May 13, 2019May 14, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

We got up this morning, had breakfast of smoked salmon scrambled eggs and toast and decided to find a nice hike to do. It was going to be a beautiful, sunny day so we decided to go over the border to England and hike in The Stiperstones National Reserve in Minsterly, England. It's one of … Continue reading Our last day in Wales spent mostly in England

Powis Castle and Gardens

May 12, 2019May 8, 2021 / catshill / Leave a comment

After breakfast this morning we set off for Powis Castle and Gardens in Welshpool, Wales. It's a well maintained and beautifully restored castle with stunning gardens. The gardens employ 6 full time gardeners and 2 part time volunteers. They have an extremely well done web site with mountains of information about the castle and the … Continue reading Powis Castle and Gardens

Day one from The Old Vicarage

May 11, 2019May 14, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

As you can see from the reflection, this is our view at breakfast. We both slept soundly and comfortably. It's so quiet here except for the occasional vehicle passing by on the road. Today looks like it will be beautiful. We had a wonderful breakfast of freshly gathered eggs, mine perfectly poached and Chris had … Continue reading Day one from The Old Vicarage

Moved to The Old Vicarage in Dolfor today

May 10, 2019May 11, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

Today was a travel day. We got up earlyish and went downstairs for breakfast after a bit of last minute packing. Since neither one of us was able to sleep well last night we just drove straight through to The Old Vicarage Dolfor which was built in 1880 and sold by the church in 1963. … Continue reading Moved to The Old Vicarage in Dolfor today

This morning we got up, had breakfast and set off for the National Botanical Gardens of Wales and The British Birds of Prey Centre. Both are in the same complex and you can pay for them individually or all at once. We had read someone's review that said it would take about 45 minutes to … Continue reading Botanical Gardens and Birds of Prey Day

We found wild orchids!

May 8, 2019May 19, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

We headed out this morning after breakfast for Saundersfoot. When we got there we realized that it was just a bit too touristy for us and it was raining so walking around wouldn’t be much fun. It is right on the coast and has lots of shops and places to eat. On our way to … Continue reading We found wild orchids!

Narberth to St. Davids

May 7, 2019May 22, 2019 / catshill / Leave a comment

I got a cold shower this morning, Chris can apparently stand much hotter water than I can so he got a scalding hot shower. I couldn't take the heat so I got a cold shower. They have these interesting faucets in the shower, one turns on the water and the other controls the temperature. The … Continue reading Narberth to St. Davids

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
