FAMILY HALF TERM - MAY

May half term beckons......

‍...and I am reminded of a wonderful holiday in north Wales 4 years ago.

Where does time go (a lot has happened over the last 4 years it has to be said).....

Glamping at @tyfamaugeolodges


It was so lovely to stay here and use the 'pods' as our base for our time in North Wales....the wood fires, wood fired hot tub in the lovely setting was ideal for us. Sleeping 4 people - there was so much space for the 3 of us.


Zip wiring and trampolining underground at @zip_world


An active day out with the zip wire course to go on and get great views of the valley and old quarries. The underground trampolines helped us get a sweat up and to use any excess energy that we may have had. What a great way to use the old mines...


Getting lost hiking (somewhere near Ruthin)


Not quite sure how we managed to find our way off the track but it was fun none the less. The Jubilee Monument was built for the previous jubilee of 'Mad King George' back in 1810 - it was no mean feat to build all those years back!


Stopping at Llangollen


Just a lovely place to stop on the road and to chill by the river. Many years ago I had a long weekend in the town doing similar activities to those at Betws-y-Coed.

Canyoning in Betws-y-Coed


We loved this! Fortunately there was only 3 of us in our group so we had a lot of attention from our guide as he took us down the narrow stream gorges. The town feels like a main center of all activity style things to do - sort of like Queenstown in NZ (but on a smaller scale). There seemed to be loads of different things to do using the town as a base.

Yoga outside - watched by the cows


Well - we couldn't go away without some yoga in between all the activities. The cows seems to find it amusing.


Exploring Conwy Castle


Wandering around the town and the castle was such a treat. We also found some great restaurants to sit and chill in - not far from Betws-y-Coed and worth a visit and some civilization.

Fingers crossed whatever you have planned works out for you.


Have a great half term and see you online in a few weeks!

Doing what you enjoy can make a real difference to our mental health and wellbeing. It may sound silly - but sometimes we need to remind ourselves of the hobbies and interests we have enjoyed in the past. For whatever reason, we may have stopped doing them. Perhaps it's time to rekindle those interests again...
