Easter holidays in Wales 2012

We spent Easter with Andrew's parents, which is always a lovely treat. Eggs were hunted in the garden, chocolate was consumed, a birthday party tea was held in Sophie's honour and many expeditions set out hunting for dragons in caves.

The second part of our Easter holidays was spent staying in a converted chapel in North Wales, near Bangor and Angelsea. Friends stayed with us and the kids all had a ball together. Sophie also got to spent more time with her Godmother Rachel.


One day we caught a steam train from Beddgelert to Porthmadog. It was fun having lunch on the train together.


Then we had a really lovely walk back to Beddgelert along side a river - the kids lead the way!



Some video footage of Sophie laughing and running.

PS For my non-Welsh family, see this link for the legend of Gelert (which every time I hear or read, I end up crying).

PPS Beddgelert is pronounced Beth-gelert. Love the Welsh alphabet!
