Hello chaps and chapesses
I've had a lush weekend. I've spent a lot of time out in the great outdoors with Graeme and Toby, and it's been lovely. Yesterday evening we went for a mini hike up to Castell Dinas Bran, a 13th century castle up a hill near Llangollen. There's not much actual castle left now, but the views of the Dee Valley from up there are just gorgeous.
We had a leisurely hike, told Toby off for chasing some sheep, and then had a flask of tea when we got to the top. It's not the most rock and roll Saturday evening of my life, but it was lovely.
It was so lovely, in fact, that we decided to have an impromptu day out in Betws y Coed today. It took us about an hour to get there, and it was so worth it.
We intended to do the four-bridges walk, but we got a bit lost in the woods and never made it to the fourth bridge. We did have fun trekking through the woods though, and not being quite sure where we were going made it a bit of an adventure.
Being out in the fresh air for most of the weekend was brilliant. It's so easy to spend the weekend pottering about the house, catching up with housework and all the little jobs you put off during the week, and never really taking some time out to properly recharge your batteries.
I'm lucky to live in such a lovely part of the world, and I fully intend to take more advantage of it in future (Graeme is pricing up OS maps online as I type...). Being out in the open air was just lush, and it did us the world of good.
How was your weekend? Do you like countryside wanderings as much as me?
