wales

the last portion of our summer has been travel-filled! we spent the later half of july and beg. of august in midwales visiting tim's family and their many pets (they are down to one indoor bunny named Wyn, tortoise Olga and Matty the horse). I'm still fascinated that tim grew up with an owl residing in the livingroom and a kestrel in the kitchen.

Anyhow our tripped was filled with hiking in low-drifting clouds, wine-filled evenings, rainy beach days, getting lost in Snowdonia National Park and catching up with cousins that aren't really kids anymore. the holiday was looooong overdue as it'd been three years since our last visit.

NOW, no more summer lolligagging > school madness begins on Monday!
