Today I needed to get some washing done, running out of knickers, and had a bundle of stuff to get clean. Found there was a laundrette in Llanrwst just outside of Betws Y Coed, so popped there. They were very helpful and managed to get my washing done (wash and dry) within an hour. I …
Today I had booked in for a physiotherapy massage with a lady called Isi Booker. I’d found her by googling people in the North Wales area, as I wanted to get my shoulder looked at before any further travelling to Ireland and Scotland. I’d got a stiff neck from climbing and it had spread to …
Got to Lake Vrynwy about 11.30 and popped by the visitor centre car park, but realised it charged. I had looked at some walks on my OS app and thought about doing one over the other side of the Lake. I had also thought about checking out the waterfall, which was at the other end …
I woke about the same time of 6am, as I am starting to do every morning, but felt very snuggly in my bed, had a good nights sleep, regardless of the wind and rain. It was an hour’s journey to Powys Castle, again through countryside. The weather started off bright sunshine, so I was optimistic …
I booked a Brit Stop spot at The Three Horseshoes in Alverley. I know the area a little as we used to have annual Christmas meet ups with the extended family at The Mill, that my grandad used to organise, as it was his birthday too. We always really looked forward to them, and the …
Dudmaston Estate Today’s trip was to Dudmaston Estate, unfortunately the Hall wasn’t open, but the grounds and the Galleries were. I had never been to Dudmaston before, passed it many a time coming from Bham to Telford or vice versa, and always wanted to pop in. I always find these kind of places overwhelming in …
I went to stop at a Brit Stop place called The Bell at Yarpole, it’s a community run pub, but it wasn’t open. They still said I could stop, and it would be £10, so to pop it through the letterbox. I needed to charge my phone etc so sussed out another pub up the …
Croft Castle Making my way to Croft Castle and gardens, not far from Ludlow, was nice countryside driving, passing through Cleobury and other little villages. I could see Titterstone Clee hill in the distance, which brought back memories of walking up it with my good friend Brian a few summers ago on the hottest day …
Day one technically living life on the road. I’d bought tickets for The National Outdoor Expo at The NEC, so needed to stop somewhere pretty local, a local park and ride train station! It did the job quite nicely and it was still beautiful to see the red sun rise and hear the birds chirping …
Mother’s day treats…I think my children are trying to tell me something! Peter and family bought me lovely products to help me sleep and Sarah Timms treated me to a session in an oxygen tank, followed by a flotation tank! Floating in a capsule, in complete darkness for an hour was quite an experience. Feel …
