WALES, JULY 2012

We went to Wales in July for our 10th anniversary. We stayed one night in the Hunters Moon Inn (where we stayed back in 2005 for our anniversary!) and one night in a campsite beside Llanthony Priory. Amazing! We climbed Pen-y-Fan/Corn Ddu (from a different direction than in 2005) and Ysgyryd Fawr, visited Hay-on-Wye via Gospel Pass where we climbed Lord Hereford's Knob (a funnier name than Twmpa, it's proper name) and generally had a great weekend.

I'm posting some pics here, but you can find all the photos on Flickr.

    I just had to share, you are the sweetest couple and I love your photos and sharing. Good info on the Allium triquetrum. I just snacked on some amazed at doing it after gardening around them for a few years now.

    Hi Ellie and thanks! :) I'm so pleased you have been able to find a tasty use for the Allium triquetrum, too.
