Well, Roy and I are in North Wales, enjoying a few days sans children. Immensely quiet. We passed through breaktakingly beautiful countryside on our drive here, through Snowdonia National Park. Lots of impossibly small lambs.
We are here to walk in Bodnant Gardens, and perhaps some other gardens and National Trust Properties here.
Zoe is in the throes of her G.C.S.E’s. Two weeks down, three to go. So far, so good.
Irene had a sleepover for her 12th birthday. In a tent in our orchard. Everyone survived, and we even got a little sleep.
We will have two new additions to our family next month–two new ducklings. Can’t wait. The farmer is going to hand them over when they are six week old. Khaki Campbells. We’ve previously had Aylesbury ducks, which we loved. Let’s hope these are equally wonderful.
We are working very hard restoring our old rambling garden, which has been much neglected. Pictures to follow soon.
It’s half-term for Whitsun in England. We are in a relatively calm, sunny place, in every way–and for that, we are grateful!

Hi Rhoda, Bodnant and Conway beach today. Snowdonia tomorrow. Wales is so mystical and beautiful I almost don't want to return!
