Reading time: < 1 minute...
After heavy snow, we decided to hang on and not rush out. The snow started to melt, and by the time we left, it had begun to melt.
So, we packed up the car and left just after 10.30. Once we got on the road, the weather improved dramatically – in fact, it was a really sunny day for the first part of the journey along the A14 and the old M6.
We made good progress and because we had time to kill (we couldn’t check in until 4pm), we stopped off at Chirk Castle for lunch.
After lunch, we resumed our journey and headed for our destination – The Lion Inn – in Gwytherin – after stopping off at Betws-y-coed to kill a bit more time.
We arrived around 4.30 to a really nice room. No double bed, no TV signal and no mobile reception – will I survive? 🙂
We spent the next couple of hours catching up with Podcasts, listening to music and reading the newspapers.
We’re off to our first evening meal in the pub tonight at 7.30. I wonder what it’ll be like?

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
