Wales trip

There has been so little activity around here, it’s up to me to sweep out the cobwebs and try to remember what we’ve done in the past like half year. Writing this at the end of November – let’s see what I can reconstruct based on some scattered pics and my memory (which is usually very selective).

There was one nice trip to Wales in August, super sunny and fun. We decided to go up Tryfan, and it was the first time i saw Tryfan in good weather, so finally saw the awesome views from up top, and also we could have a little snack break on top rather than trying to escape as fast as we can to avoid being blown down by gusty winds.

I also made friends with a seagull up on top, but Iest forbade me to feed him pieces of my granola bar, apparently it’s not good for the gulls to be up there, I’m not sure why, i think it was great of him to swing by. I asked Iest to at least take a picture of my gull pal, this is what he produced:

I think he just didn’t like him; he holds grudge against gulls since he had to fight them for his lunches as a chubby kid. We also saw this awesome dragonfly on the way down:

We also went for a trip to a hill near to Llandudno, which i forgot the name of, and went to Llandudno itself, which Iest was a bit grumpy about. But we did have nice scones with clotted cream and jam and tea there, so finally I think everything worked out fine.
