** A Brisk January Adventure On The North Wales Coast - Brrrrrrrr ! **
Sorry that I've been so quiet this last week. But as you may be able to tell from this piccy, a few of us dolls have been away on a nice little winter getaway in Northern Wales ... Woohoooo !!
Seeing as my gal-pal Gwendolyn is actually Welsh herself, Rocky and I invited her and her fella Marshall to join us for this fun little holiday too ... As you can see though, it was a tad cramped to fit the 6 of us in the car (Yes Ruby and Emma are safely seated in the back there as well in case you're wondering), however we did just about manage, and had some lovely days out adventuring all over Snowdonia together.
Mind you, it was very useful having a native to the area as our guide and translator. Even Ruby and Emma started picking up a few Welsh words throughout our stay as a result. I was amazed and impressed by the ease of which Gwen could say the name of the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch place though, I still cant get my little plastic tongue around any of it ... "Lanfair ... Lanfair-pwell. Or is it pool ? ... Ummmm" ... Nope, I ain't got a clue !
But back to this particular piccy again ...
It was flipping CHILLY at this pretty little bay in Llandudno, I tell you (but luckily an easier name to pronounce as it happens ;) ). But none the less it was fab getting to watch the waves rolling onto shore ... We don't get to see the sea where we live at home you see. Thankfully this day was a lovely sunny one though, so we were all rather warm whilst wrapped up in our winter woollies exploring the rocky coastline around us.
As for the rest of our vacation ... Unfortunately we had a fair amount of rain during the week, so I wasn't really able to get any more piccys to show you our other exploits. But we still didn't let the weather dampen our spirits ... Even when we nearly got stuck in the snow during a sudden unexpected blizzard which we encountered on one mountain pass. Thankfully we managed to back track and find away around in the end though ... Phew !!
*************************************************
We arrived home again yesterday, and although its a tad strange to be back, there's truly no place like home is there. But I suppose I had better finish the unpacking soon, as it's now back to reality for us ... Sigh !!
So I'll sign off now with what my Welsh friend, Gwen, said just before we departed her former home "Welwn ni chi y flwyddyn nesaf Cymru . Cawsom amser hyfryd !". Which means "See you next year Wales. We had a lovely time !". :)
