Oh, joy of joys, I thought, as my hand felt the radiator and it was Hot. Very hot. Yesterday, the rental cottage was cold and we had so much washing from our holiday and recent move. We left our old house, it has to be said with a sigh of relief, as it was old and needed more than we could give it. Having had a couple of prospective purchases go awry, we booked a holiday let…and left that to go on holiday on a coach trip booked before we even put our house on the market. Everything happens at once!
The holiday was just what we needed, a breathing space between sale and purchase. The whole process of packing for various changing destinations and ultimately, to a storage unit, has been exhausting. It was bliss to sit back in the coach and close my eyes. Snowdonia did not disappoint with its stunning scenery, changing weather and views to it and from it. Beaumaris Castle was awesome with its castle within a castle and stunning views across the Menai Straits to the mountains of Snowdonia. A trip up to the top of Great Orme was the highlight of the base in Llandudno, But, for me, the greatest thrill of all, was seeing the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct and Viaduct at Llangollen.
This morning, back at our holiday cottage, the world seems a little brighter with warm radiators and dry clothes. The sheep seem to get up when they choose and look at us through the windows.
