After a long trip, the question I am most asked by friends and family is “What is your name, again?” No, not really, the big 5 question is always, “What was your favorite thing on the trip?”
It is funny, but even though many activities and places will jump out as highlights on a trip, there is always one glaring favorite – the place I most want to go back to, soon. The place I want to be instantly instead of going back to work or doing laundry or cooking or cleaning or shaving or… well, you get the picture. For me on this particular trip, it was Wales.
While it is true that there are in inordinate amount of sheep in Wales (seriously, they could go Animal Farm and take over if they were thus motivated).
And yes, it is also true that it is really rainy (ok, you can’t see the rain but trust me…it poured).
(Calwy Castle)
and windy
(Beaumaris, Anglesey Island)
and foggy a majority of the time
(Snowdon Mountains)
But even with all that – it is just so darn BEAUTIFUL.
(Llandudno, Wales)
And somehow, the beauty is all tied up together in one big, green wonderland – sheep, rain, wind, fog and all.
So, save a spot on that green spongy grass for me. I will be back.
Love the Animal Farm reference.
Ha! Yes, well the sheep easily outnumber residence…I’m just saying…
lots of good pics over the last few posts. really liked that 100 yr old tunnel one. talk about claustrophobia!!!
I know! The car was barely big enough to fit!
My husband and I are huge fans of Scotland and we’ve heard wonderful things about Wales. I really must go someday! Thanks for the great pictures.
You are so welcome. Scotland is high on my list of places I want to see!

You can’t have green without rain. And it has been a blustery summer although there have been some fantastic days too. 🙂
Yes, we had some beautiful days in London and Kenilworth!
