Thanks girls I had a great time
question of the day
how much weight can you lose when being bit by midges
well not a lot as they were small BUT saying that I have never seen so many
up until this morning I genuinely thought I had not been bitten even though I was covered in them BUT now I know different - and as people who fidget use more calories I am sure today I will lose so much weight due to the scratching that I cant stop
have taken piriton and will get some cream later when the shops open
now for the great adventure
we left E's at 7 ish and arrived after 10 at the hostel - now the place we stayed is really right in the middle of wales in the middle of no where and it is a GREAT place
it took a while for D and E to get their tent up and the boys were so tired and fractious - there was a rocking chair that I shared with the boys and finally they settled just as they were taken to bed - now if I remember correctly that is common for small children
so bed for 11ish and I could not sleep so was reading until I couldnt see the words very well
finally got to sleep and was awake again at 5 30
after breakfast we left thinking we would get there in an hour - of course we would
well the road out of the hostel was unmade up road (and not on the map) for the first four miles then single track very steep for the next the next 2 so that in first gear and of course waiting for sheep to move out of the way took best part of half an hour
We did manage to do a Thelma and Louise - when we got there we had a great time - I bought books a hand made basket and some wool and so fibers for spinning I bought yak and alpaca
the sheep fleeces where not best quality so I am sending off for them
after we went to a whole food cafe where I ordered houmous pitta and salad - sounds good and with in points NOT a chance when it arrives it was fantastic BUT
all of it was made on the premises
houmous - about twice as much as I would allow myself
a toasted pitta
all of the following were tablespoon fulls in dressing
tomato salad
couscous salad (with roasted veg)
coleslaw
new potato salad
pasta salad
mixed salad leaves no dressing
and more but I cant remember
needless to say I cleared my plate because it was heaven
after a leisurely chat with W who we met there we all decided to make our way back to our cars
however E and I just HAD to go to a fantastic shoe shop we had found
the rest you might be able to guess
