Just got back yesterday from Wales {yaki da isn't it eisteddfod}

Not been to Wales in well over 30 years, bit apprehensive, weather wise, as Wales is not known for fine weather but we had a beautifully sunny week, better than abroad. Went to Llandudno and really enjoyed it.

I don't think we'll bother going abroad again, compared to G.B. it's a lot of hassle.

Northumberland is BORING. Nothing special about any part of it.

We booked to go up north a few weeks ago and cancelled it, the vast majority of round Cumbria is ok if you like walking and hiking and most of the places to stay are in the back of beyond, that's ok it that's your bag but it's not ours, we like to walk but it seems that's all there is to do up there so we went to Wales instead.

Hiking yes I'm a pro at that almost, that's my dad's fault mind you. As a family of four dad mum brother and me we used to come up to Northumberland every year in the summer holidays dad worked at trebor and wanted a holiday and when probably other people were enjoying time on a beach even in this country in some warm weather there we were getting up at the crack of dawn with hiking gear on the monkey boots for me and my brother from wakefields in chesterfield, a bag each to carry with sarnies in and a flask of tea yes even me and my brother had tea, dad was off in front of us with mum and two kids aged anything from 7 and 9 dragging behind going up the cheviots in Northumberland or thrunton woods god it was extremely boring. We never went on a beach much up here. Don't actually blame you for going to Wales instead.

Give me chesterfield any day for a holiday it would suit me down to the ground. Born there but stuck in Northumberland still.

We've had a couple - well actually three up to now. The first one is an odd one you will say but -
I had been ill with a rotten virus then hubby got it and it was lingering - so -
I looked at a break in Liverpool, they wanted an arm and a leg as it was the Eurovision song contest weekend apparently plus the trains were also on strike.
I ditched that idea and booked into the Math Hotel in Matlock  :-? ::) :))
Off we toddled, had a room in the annex with a balcony, spent the 1st  morning in Cromford enjoyed a late lunch then retired back to the hotel to sleep and read. The second morning we wandered round Matlock Bath not having been for several years - had a late lunch then retired back to the hotel to read and sleep.
Boring you might think but it was a lovely rest and hubby was so much better when we returned home. Had we stayed at home we would have been finding jobs to do.

Skegvegas - We went with daughter, her boyfriend and a young lady i support. Yes it was a working week and I'm always ready for a rest after this. we use a specialist wheelchair friendly bungalow in Ingoldmells which we've booked for years as it suits our needs very well. It got a bit too hot on one of the days but hey ho I'm not grumbling about that!!

Liverpool - we returned home last night. It was a last minute decision. Stayed in the Holiday inn Express on Albert Docks. No complaints with the hotel. It had the river Mersey on one side and the Albert Docks shops, cafe's, bars on the other. Liverpool has been one of our 'lets nip off for a few days' places. We've never been on the Mersey so hopped on one of the boats during this stay to view the scenery from the Mersey.   Daughters been pecking my head to go away for a day or two on her birthday so I checked their accessible room out got an interconnecting room and booked it whilst we were there. It won't be on her birthday though but later in the year. I'm sure she'll enjoy it though
