Camping with the sheep and the mud

Well before Greenbelt The Mister and I decided to take a little camping trip with our friend Tom and Anne and their terrible trio of boys, Matthew, Andrew and Mark. We went to the very beautiful campsite of Nantcol Waterfalls in Llanbedr. It was beautiful, if a little soggy. Tom and Anne were there a couple of days before us and they were in a massive downpour and ended up taking all their stuff to the launderette. Anyway, the site was yum and the owners were really helpful!

We did lots of things whilst we were there. We wandered and drank lots of coffee and wine. We took in the beautiful scenery and ate cake. The Mister and Tom walked up Snowdon, whilst Anne and I took the more sensible option with the boys and go the train up. The views are just totally stunning, except when we got to the top and it was foggy! We went to Harlech Castle with Paul's Mum (Hi Beryl!!) and her friend Doreen who came to visit us for the day. There is so much to do in the area... we could have easily spent 2 weeks there.

One of my favourite things though was going to the local agricultural show. They had lots of horses being shown, including some beautiful Shire Horses and some really dinky ponies with their equally dinky owners. The bestest bit thought was all the sheep!! I love sheep - they have such cute faces, nice flicky tails and are really funny. There was a sheep shearing competition and I ended up standing next to a local woman who gave me a running commentary on what they were doing, but also who was related to who. She was fun and it was amusing to get the gossip about who was who.

Anyway, we had a brilliant holiday... and here are the pics!!!!
