August in Wales - Thursday 11th

It was a really wet day.

Meg's was still full of a cold.

Al had work to do.

So Jude and I took Ben to the newly revamped Bounce Below at Llechwedd.

He bounced

We looked at rocks

We talked about rocks

We 'liberated' a rock

As I may have mentioned previously - rocks rock!

August in Wales - Monday 8th

It was a beautiful day - and I was determined that we would fit in a walk this holiday -

we chose a gorgeous route around the summit of the Great Orme.

August in Wales - Sunday 7th

Back at the caravan for the week -

  Al has lot's of work to do - Boo :(

Today - the first of many crepes for Ben

No Man's Land - theatre trip to Sheffield

A day trip to Sheffield 

{how many more to come? - Meg's A Level results day is fast approaching} 

for a very special theatre experience -

Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen in the very odd, but very funny "No Man's Land."

Megs had been at Abigail's for Friday night dinner -

so we got the train in Widnes, and she joined us in Manchester.

We got to Sheffield in time for lunch -

introduced Ben to the Waterstones cafe -

and headed to the theatre.

It was an acting masterclass - 

two of our greatest actors egging each other on -

perhaps I don't really understand Pinter

{Megs helpfully pointed out that "Pinter - it's all mental isn't it"}

but this was an unforgettable production.

Afterwards we collected Ben -

and whilst Al and I collected coffee -

Megs and Ben had a VERY close encounter with Mr Mckellen.

Megan "Oh my god - just be cool"

Ben "I just wanted to say hi"

Will we be back in Sheffield in September? - time will tell.....
