Thanks Avril. I would have blogged from the cruise but I won't bother from Wales as I'm not sure if it would pass the "banal" post test. I might post a picture of that phone box though... 😁

I hope you do post some pictures Damian. Brithdir seems to be a lovely little hamlet, that many won't normally visit, and I would love to see the church etc, and yes the phone box. What may seem 'banal' to a few, will I'm sure be of interest to many.

Thank you @Dermotsgirl.

Happy belated anniversary to you both.

I remembered your anniversary was close to ours and your husband's birthday is close to mine which is October 27th.

Yes, my husband's birthday is the same as yours. By further co-incidence, my birthday is March 15th, which, if I remember correctly, is a couple of days after Pauline's

Two weeks leave for me and we should have been on Ventura sailing to the Canaries but as at the final settlement date we hadn't found anyone to look after Teddy so we had to cancel. Typically, one week later we got two separate offers to have him.

 

Never mind though, at least he was home for his 1st birthday yesterday. We are also taking the opportunity for a long overdue visit to Michelle's sister in Brithdir and I'm looking forward to some relaxing downtime with plenty of dog walks somewhere new.

 

For anyone who doesn't know Brithdir (like me) the Wikipedia entry is, errrrr, interesting?

 

Brithdir, Gwynedd - Wikipedia

 

Wow. Teddy is a very handsome chap and I bet he is pleased to be going away with you to Wales where there may be lots of muddy puddles to get utterly muddy and smelly!……

There's a certain Russian bloke who is 70 in early October.Don't know why he's not out and about enjoying his bus pass like us.

Returning to Brithdir - I have just looked it up, and feel sure it is worth a few photos in the area, it is lovely.

 

The map reminded me of my youth - I wonder if any of you have done the same?  When I was about 17 I climbed Snowdon via Crib Goch, and also Tryfan  (boyfriend was a keen climber).  They were both quite hard climbs; I had been told that Tryfan was the only mountain in Wales you could not climb without having to use your hands - does anyone know the truth of this?  I hasten to add it was not both on the same day, and resulted in feeling very stiff the next morning, even after a long hot bath on getting home to near Chester.  Since then, just up Skiddaw a few times, and easy climbs  up Catbells.  I wish I had the ability now, but at least I did it, once, so nice memories.  (Hope this is not too banal).

Good for you, I did  hear that being on a mountaintop is the best thing you can ever do?😍

 

Thinking about it really, its all just downhill from there.😉

Thanks Graham, but on the way home, via the Michael Kors shop in Portsmouth. A late lunch,early Dinner in Cafe Rouge. No pics of either in case anyone thinks handbags, or Tarte tatin are banal.🤣

Hooray, it’s raining here in Bolton. I know it won’t make a huge difference to water levels but at least we won’t have to water the garden with waste water from the house. The deer are still eating some of my flowers. My next door neighbour doesn’t normally plant bedding plants but this year she put in a lot of geraniums. Overnight Saturday/Sunday they ate every one, then jumped over into mine and finished off with my remaining ones.

Hello everyone - technophobe question.  Does anyone know why my”reactions” to posts are being removed?   Have I done something wrong? 

[purplesea]

I have been feeling a bit low with this virus, and had been thinking about it for a while, so decided to go for it, and booked another cruise. Another holilday to look forward to🙂

@DamianG shame about your cruise, We have trouble finding someone to have our dog, our neighbours always had her and her predecessor , but their dog they have now isn’t keen. Our friends are on Ventura now! Have a lovely time in Wales instead. 

As someone with a far better education than myself once said, “Them’s the breaks!” 😀

I've never had reactions actually removed after I've seen them posted. I have however sometimes not been able to post them. I simply log out and log in again.

That happens to me regularly too. I'm normally on my tablet and just do a quick refresh which seems to solve the issue.

Graham, these coincidences are getting spooky now….. I think Pauline and I had the same wedding dress ! 

[lincslady]

That dress  is certainly very similar!

 

I was being serious about climbing Welsh mountains - surely some of you have done this - maybe not for a few years?  I would like to hear about it, even if perhaps no one else would.
