Wales June 2010

Sun 6th June

We left home at 0920 and arrived at Henllan at about 10.15. We set up and then got ready to go for the family meal in the club. It was a very good meal, as usual, and good to catch up with the family. We went up to Emma's afterwards just to say hello.

Mon 7th

We set off just after 9am and arrived at the farm CS at 11.30, it was a nice site in a field very close to the cliff overlooking the Irish Sea.



We went for a walk along the cliff top as it was quite a nice afternoon, if a bit breezy, we saw grey seals on the rocks below, we just got back to the van before it started to rain heavily.

Tue 8th

The weather was not too good so we drove around, went to Abersoch and Pwhelli, where we went into "pensioner mode" and ate our sandwiches sitting in the car looking at the sea!. We had a good drive round and the scenery was beautiful. After tea we went down to the beach below the farm and mooched for a while, it was a lovely, warm, calm evening and we watched the sun go down over the sea, we saw a pair of choughs on the cliffs.

Wed 9th

We drove to Anglesey and visited Plas Newdd ,a National Trust property, again we drove through beautiful countryside and the weather was better, sunny and warm. We walked in the woods on the estate looking over the Menai Straits and the Bridge, then we went round the house. The weather atarted to deteriorate so we sat in the car and had our sandwiches and drove back to the site.

We left the site and drove to Phillip and Daisy's in Kerry. We parked on their drive and after a chat we went to visit Judith and Bob in Abermule, they moved there 3 years ago and have a beautiful place right on top of the hill, very isolated, we had a good chat then went back to Phillip's, we had our tea and then sat with Phillip and chatted as Daisy was on a walk.
