There is nothing like a road trip with Nigel
Our visit to Wales brought us to rugged coastlines, beautiful beaches, mountainous national parks, landscapes that displayed 50 shades of green with sheep everywhere. Of interest, there are more sheep than people in Wales and they were good looking sheep too.
We had great weather overall except for the day we were trying to make it to the top of Mt. Snowden. The wind was blowing so hard we would have blown off the mountain top if we continued so we only made it 5/8 of the way up to Rocky Point and had to turn back. Next time…
We visited places with names like Betys-y-Coed, Beddgelert, Dollgellau, Aberystwyth, and Pentre Ifan. The distinctive and complex Welsh language was difficult to read as well as to pronounce. Personally, I gave up trying, but Jay persisted and his pronunciation made for some good laughs along the way!
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, with 58 letter, is the longest place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest village names in the world. We decided we’d just look at this place name online instead of driving there just to get a photo with it in the background to Nigel’s delight!
No matter where we went or what we did, we had a terrific time and created lifelong memories
You just had to be there for some stories!

The trip’s final lodging was at Llety Farms, and we definitely saved the best for last. Our hosts could not have been better. Both Jackie and Ian, as well as their farm house was excellent. We also had the good fortune to watch Jackie working the dogs one morning in preparation for their upcoming herding competition. Our breakfast was simply perfect!
Maggie was eagerly awaiting her turn to practice. Nelson and Maggie had different ways of getting the sheep to move. What a great experience.
After five days of driving around on single lane roads with hairpin turns, Nigel is warming up for his weekend of golfing!
We love this photo 💕
