Happy Easter and whatnot.
Apr. 16th, 2006 11:33 pmHappy Easter, flist, to those of you who celebrate it!
I am soooo tired. Mother and I ended up having an evening in b/c the past few days have worn us out. We've had tons of fun so far, though. She got in late Thursday after a train delay, so we mostly just got her settled in her room and went to get a quick dinner at the Black Bull. It was nice just to catch up.
Friday was Anglesey day. I had to feed the cuttlefish anyway, so I took mum over to the school to see the animals and give her a little tour of the school. We saw the ship and the rest of Menai Bridge, then walked to Church Island. After a lunch of fish'n chips at what is supposed to be the best chip shop on Anglesey, we took the bus to Beaumaris and toured the castle there. Although I'd seen the castle before and several others in the area, this was the first time I'd actually been inside so that was really cool. Afterwards we had ice cream and took a walk along the pier and through the town before going home to have a light dinner. Very nice day.
Yesterday we went to Conwy, a beautiful walled-in town close to Llandudno. We saw both the castle and the Plas Mawr house, one of the oldest and best preserved Victorian houses in Britain. Lots and lots of walking, plus a very nice Welsh cream tea for lunch - sultana scones with jam and cream, bara brith, Welsh cakes and tea. Yummy.
This morning we got up way too early to go to the sunrise service up at the Roman Camp. Despite my sleepiness, it was a very charming Anglican deal in both Welsh and English, at the top of quite a high hill in Upper Bangor. Awesome view. Then we went back home for a nap b/c 7 am is just too early to be walking up hills after so little sleep. Woke up in time to walk to Menai Bridge for a proper Sunday roast at the Bridge Inn, then back to Bangor for the choral evensong at St Deiniol Cathedral. Barely a handful of people there, but it was nice. By this time we were both pretty exhausted, so we've been lazing around all evening and got pizza for dinner so we wouldn't have to cook.
I'm probably crashing after I post this. We're walking up Snowdon tomorrow so I'll need all the energy I can muster. I may be more tired after this "vacation" than I was before it.
Haven't watched last week's House yet, unfortunately, but Dr Who was quite entertaining. Ten is very, very pretty.
