Life Happens.

I've been neglecting this space recently, life happens. I might catch up, but I'm not feeling particularly inspired. I have no 'plan' with this blog, other than a desire to change my domain name. There's a fan-fiction writer under the same url I do not wish to be mistaken for. I also chose teaandfairylights five years ago, I've outgrown it. It's time for a change. Suggestions on in a postcard comment please.

Molly and I were in Wales this week. I've been running a wool shop. I absolutely loved it, such a happy place. And my family got to enjoy a much needed break. Molly and I have been to various beaches, eaten wonderful bwyd cymraeg (welsh food) with good friends and explored the heart of my favourite mountain range. Molly says she 'loves tha mountains' joyously, and I agree.

My favourite place. I was proud I drove up there alone, there is not much space between the road and a big drop off the side of a mountain in places! A week and a half away from Jamie was tough. Much harder than I had anticipated. Isn't coming home wonderful? Then again so is a full tank of petrol(thanks ma), a music system that works (thanks Cesk) and a camera full of memories.. I think we need more road trips and breaks away as a three (four if I can find a dog friendly hotel).

*All of these were taken on my iphone, I'm impressed.

Cregannan,,

I can't believe it's Tuesday already! I was meant to be working all week however Molly has had a poorly tummy for over seven days now so I'm looking after her. She's good in her spirits, the doctor said she was the liveliest child with Gastroenteritis she has ever seen! So we are snuggling in our pyjamas on a strict diet of dry toast and very dilute squash (I have to give her butter I can't bear not to!) Anywho a little later than planned and a little more photo heavy than anyone would like, welcome to my Cregannan Lake, my favourite place on earth..

We got to Dolgellau mid-afternoon on Sunday but as the sun was shining we decided to go straight up to the lake because we had a feeling the weather would turn over our visit. All I can say is that it was 

as though the weather knew we were coming. The place looked GLORIOUS. There's no other way to describe it. Bright bright sunlight, and a crisp breeze from the sea. Visiting the lake is a little bittersweet for me. It's where we scattered my dad, on a rainy day seven years ago. It was the place he wanted to be. I remember sunday afternoons with him climbing the peak that rises above the lake, and being sat in the big rock slabs looking at the ocean. It really is a special place and I really truly loved sharing it with Molly and her little wellies. Please excuse my driving attire, it had been a long day and night before trying to pack everything into my little car!

(.. blame the wind for my sleazy squint, but you should see the other one I look evil!)
