We’re in Wales
As mentioned at the start of the month, we're off to Wales again for our summer holiday, and by the time you read this, we should have been there a couple of days. We're staying near Conwy again, in a rented holiday cottage, as a group of five - me, Christine, our ten-year-old and my...
