Weeknote #45

• Started off my break between jobs with a holiday to north Wales

• Met the breeder we’re hoping to get a puppy from and got to spend some time with her current litter who are all heading off to their new homes in the next couple of weeks!

  • The puppies were adorable but all incredibly chompy and very incontinent!

  • Hopefully there’ll be a puppy for us later this year

• We spent Sunday doing a 5h30, 12km hike in Snowdonia which included 2 peaks, lots of time in the clouds, some stunning views and an incredibly hairy descent down a snowy and icy scramble. That final descent left us so exhausted that we decided not to attempt Tryfan as planned at the end and headed back to the car.

• The next day we took a trip into Conwy where I saw the UK’s smallest house and had a delicious pub lunch

• Our Airbnb had a log burner which we made the most of

• The Caban Cafe over the road did wonderful coffee

• After leaving Wales, we stayed with a friend in Oxford overnight

  • On the drive down we stopped off at Upton House to have a look around at the artwork and gardens

• I’ve been busy knitting this week and finished my second Selbu mitten! The pair are now blocking… just in time for the weather to warm up
