Carsols and Friends

Well, we're back from our sojourn to the Land of Song. And what a fantastic week we had! You would not believe it by the weather today (we've got our heating on! In June!) but we had the most amazing weather for our holiday in North Wales last week. We had lots of warm sunshine as you'll see from the photos and it was a bit of a shock to wake up to pouring rain for our journey home yesterday.

I've just popped in here to give you a taste of our week as I still have lots of my photos to put onto the computer. I've been to Wales several times in the past but my DH has only been for the odd day so it was good to share things with him. We stayed in a lovely cottage in Deganwy overlooking Conwy Castle and we took advantage of the coastal path to walk into Conwy.

Needless to say our American guest, young Dorothy, came with us and enjoyed a trip on a tram up the Great Orme in Llandudno (more of which later).

I think Dorothy could have done with a sunhat, it was boiling!

It was lovely to meet up with Mags aka Digital Gran during our visit. She is a lovely bubbly lady and we were soon chatting like old friends. We're hoping to meet up again when DH and I get the chance to go back to Conwy, which we surely will as there was so much we didn't have time for.

Mags and I had arranged to swap Ruby Dolls and I have brought the very beautiful doll on the right home to live with me and my other Rubys. It's amazing how all these dolls are so different when they all come from the same basic pattern. Mags had incorporated some lovely vintage fabrics and crochet into her doll.

I had another gift from Mags, a very yummy bottle of a special lemon liqueur! I am saving it as an incentive to get me through the next couple of weeks. I've got to take, in fact, am taking, a course of strong antibiotics as the tests I had done earlier this year have found that I have that grotty bacteria that causes ulcers! No wonder I haven't been feeling too well for ages. Unfortunately the antibiotics are not very kind to your tum and I'm already feeling a bit delicate in the you-know-what department so I may be staying home for the next 2 weeks till I've finished them :o( Also, NO ALCOHOL! OMG! Not even a teeny tiny sherry on Sunday. Good job I had the odd glass last week!

I'll be back when I've sorted out all my piccies! By the way, is anyone having problems with getting onto some blogs? I have been clicking some of my usual links and getting thrown off by Internet Explorer before the site has loaded. Maybe it's just a glitch?
