Time flies every holiday

The week came and the week went and I've been back at work for three days now. The holiday effect soon wears off! The house didn't get any more TLC than usual but I managed to post on some birthday cards for A, a little belatedly. I was very impressed with the royal mail stamps that graced the envelope for its long journey to the USA. They were from the Charles Darwin commemorative issue and sported a magnificent Orang-utan. Just for good measure the package needed two of these stamps and I was sure A would be impressed at the beauty of these creatures. When we spoke, he hadn't even noticed the stamps - now he'll have to look up what he missed at www.royalmail.com


We (F and G) managed to take a trip to Wales. We chose the right day and the weather was mild, a sunny afternoon with hardly any breeze. The place was deserted so we enjoyed a few hours of peace and quiet, strolling along the sea wall at Fairbourne.

There would have been photographs but I'm still working on the skill of getting the photographs to upload!

I remember the walks along the sea wall. It must have been cold. I'm glad you had a relaxing half term.

I'm sorry he didn't notice the stamps, but I want to reassure you that he LOVED the card with the British cat on it.

Sorry, that second comment (supposedly from Andrew) is from me.

I Googled Fairbourne and saw a few great pictures, but probably not as great as the ones you took. Have you ridden the train much? Is this close to where you have your vacation house?
