Well, getting hitched was better than I expected, and clears the way of stress for the big proper event in May. Woot.

Then we went to Pembrokeshire for a few days of freezing holiday. Down points were the cold, leading to controlled skids along 3 miles of back road. Further down was not learning my lesson on that the first time ;) Up points were two very fine coastpath runs, watching the child totally max out on the happy of being by the beach and having a log burner to inch towards. And finally the extreme beauty of the beach on the final day. I can't describe it adequately, just to say the freezing weather made the small enclosed beach near daybreak into a shimmering mass of water and ice. Turquoise, pink and silver. Like an amazing icicled frost palace by the sea.

And even running through half frozen sea water up to my ankles couldn't spoil this :) Absolutely perfect.

Monday - drive to Pembrokeshire via the Welsh Botanical Gardens, which never fail to rock. Dai makes amazing time on the driving, particularly while I'm asleep. Ben is an angel.

Tuesday - walk the coast path to Broad Haven and back with Ben-bo. Tea in the Druidstone bar.

Wednesday - tootle around St Davids and buy a cool plant. Walk the coastpath at St Justinians with Ben-bo. Went to see Stardust in Tenby - Ben is still an angel (everyone was startled when the lights came up and there was a tiny baby perched on my knee. The film was great.

Thursday - weather breaks, so we visit Tenby. Tenby is ace, and we may have to move there when we finally achieve The Big Move (TM). Tea in Druidstone bar (yum. Poundage has probably been added).

Friday - drive up the coast to Bala. Coast is lovely, but feel that stopping at Aberystwyth rather than Cardigan may have been a mistake. Aberystwyth is probably better in the summer, but would still be the ass-end of nowhere, even if it wasn't wave-lashed, wind-ripped and obscured by a large black cloud. The coast was pretty cool, though, and there was some lovely scenery as we headed inland. C and A are brilliant - it's always lovely to see them.

Saturday - walked around near Lake Vernywy a bit, with the luxury of no Ben-bo, who was being capably babysat. Drank tea to get over minor family crisis. Dai achieved l33t mountain road driving skills. All very fun.

Sunday - sadly drove back home via A-roads between Shrewsbury and Worcester, which was very pleasant but still sad to be going home.
