Smith's Journeys

It’s been awhile so thought it was timely to post a few more photos of what we have been up to over the past couple of months

We had a day trip to Wales visiting Harlech, Barmouth and Porthmadog.

After catching Covid on the return flight from Tenerife we took a few weeks to get our energy back.
This meant that tasks got a little bit behind. Thankfully Bruce Christie arrived for a few days to give me a hand with some of the bigger tasks.

We had a pleasant day in Chester walking the city walls (with the occasional refreshment stop)

After Bruce departed I had a lot of cleaning up to do, which kept me busy for a week

I had a bit of undergrowth to clear to allow access to the wood from the rose garden. this had been left unattended since covid lockdown.

Ann had a few challengers to ensure she wasn’t bored.

We had a day trip to Ironbridge.

The highlight of the month was receiving a gift from the Kenyon’s of two ticket to the Commonwealth Games T20 cricket. (NZ playing Aust).
We spent the day in Birmingham with the 1,000’s of people who were all there for the games.

We enjoyed Wales so much we decided to do an overnighter. We headed to Caernarfon Castle before heading to the village of Betws-Y-Coed were we had booked a very nice B&B (Cae Garw)

The next morning we boarded the Mountain Railway Train and headed up Mt Snowdon.

We finished the week with drinks on the terrace overlooking the park watching the hot-air ballon float overhead.
