It's been beautiful weather down here in the big smog. Keeping fingers crossed weather will bo good in Wales (Mid) ... anyone know yet, or is it too early to tell

It's always sunny in Wales

nip down to new quay the mariner does the best all day breakfast ever you might see a dolphin or two and there are boat trips -oh and i have swum in cardigan bay in october and without wet/dry suits its warmer than it is in June. Wish i could come but everyone at work has booked the begginning of half term already and left me with the 2 days at the end.

hey thanks I'd heard about the boat trips that pass the cove we're going to, that apparently is a haven for seals and pups in Autumn
Shame you can't come

The 1 hour boats from new quay go up to here we have seen seals there several times
http://www.new-quay.com/cwmtydu.htm
the 2 hour goes almost to here
http://www.new-quay.com/llan.htm
there are quite a few dolphins feeding around here but to be honest we have seen them just as frequently on the 1 hour trip and from the harbour wall in new quay (scan out to the right from the sea end of the wall there is a marker bouy where they hang out.
The place in the second link is where i went swimming in october great beach and often decent surf BUT there are some dodgy currents around the rocks on the right so you,d need to keep an eye on the kids.Driving to either place isnt for the faint hearted but well worth it.
If you,re into nature head inland too here http://www.gigrin.co.uk/

so grumpy i cant get those days off but its people with kids who took them which is only fair.

Does anyone know whether this Erwbarfe Farm site provide firewood (for a fee), as Cae Du do, or do you take your own?

It would be good to know soon so I can get the plebs smashing pallets up if necessary

I looked at the website and it says they sell calor gas, so I'm presuming they don't sell wood or they'd say, is there a forest nearby we could ransack??

I can see some plebs pallett chopping between now and then here, right kids today's activities include .......

not good at doing grumpy for long -a work colleague was telling me yesterday i should throw a wobbly every so often -apparently she thinks i,m entitled to this because of my age.

I have no idea why I'm laughing I myself am grumpy today Don't let me near an axe today

We're going wood hunting on Saturday, if we don't find any we'll buy some wood on the way, but NOT in London, they charge cheeky prices

It is ok to have open fire there isn't it?

Tink will be jammed full of whatever we can find to burn
