It's a shame we don't live nearer a beach as Archie loves visiting the seaside, he makes a dash for the sea or any rock pools.

Brought back wonderful memories of my visits to North Wales over the years, although I didn't go to the towns you visited -- except for Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch -- I had to take my American husband there, of course. Such a beautiful country. <br />My dad loved black pudding but I'm not keen on it.

As you say, children don't have these funny ideas so they'll at least try most things. It was a great deal, very affordable and we were so lucky that the hotel and all it had to offer was excellent.

I totally understand the blood pudding bit - I used to eat it, no problem, when I was a kid as my grandmother would make it and didn't think anything of it. But even though I know it tastes good, I think that nowadays I wouldn't be able to get past the blood bit of it either.<br /><br />And wow - that was an incredible deal on the hotel! I'll have to keep that website on my radar for when we eventually go to the UK.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-4306946432650252442017-03-28T09:25:21.774+01:002017-03-28T09:25:21.774+01:00Archie's a creature of habit so he loves his u...Archie's a creature of habit so he loves his usual routine, but once we get to the beach he's like a puppy again, running in and out of the sea, splashing in rock pools and rolling around on the sand, he does make us laugh.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-51241412277770011642017-03-27T21:13:06.728+01:002017-03-27T21:13:06.728+01:00It sounds like you crammed a lot into your weekend...It sounds like you crammed a lot into your weekend in Wales, Jo.
