After an epically long 5 week wait between holidays, we were most
excited to be heading up to Wales for the first of two bank holiday long-weekends in
May. Monique has become a holiday-planning super hero, and so true to form, did
a phenomenal job finding super cheap train tickets. Winning!
Following on from Northern Ireland, we took great pleasure in
rolling out our National Trust membership cards as we (along with several
hundred holidaying geriatrics) visited Erddig Manor – an old estate featuring
some of the best kept servants quarters and records in the UK, and Bodnant
Gardens – renowned as being the most beautiful gardens in the UK. We were quite
content strolling through the immaculate gardens, which proved to be a nice
introduction to Wales, and a great way to come down from the intensity of
London life.
We finished our first day at a slightly tired but pleasant seaside
town called Llandudno, where the locals were enjoying their annual ‘Victorian
Extravaganza’…which was basically just a modern day fair with standard
rides, amusement stalls and Miranda teddy bears.
