So this is serious catch-up time! I'm going to try to put up a few posts to say where we've been lately and now that I see how long it since I did any work in here I think I'd best get some cheesecake made too!
We start of with a day trip to Flint, in North Wales. This was one of the rare sunny days this summer, in early August.
We had a picnic lunch at Flint Castle, an amazingly beautiful ruin, with no tourist development whatsoever around it. There are houses across the road from this castle, where you could sit in your front room and simply castle watch!
After lunch we headed off to the beach, as you can see, Millie was not at all keen! Sadly, I was sporting the mafia look with a raincoat and sunspecs - so it can't have been that warm!

Wonderful photos! What an amazing country you live in, castles here and there in the countryside. So beautiful.
I think, in truth, that it is harder to appreciate all that history, when you grew up with it. But one of the many joyous things about our relationship is that spending time with Annie has helped me to see that it is a great gift to ahve so much of this around us.

Isn't that the truth? The things we take for granted become even more special after sharing them with someone new to the area.
My grandfather's family was from Wales. Then he married an Irish woman. ;¬)
Look at Millie! Aw.
