Tourist Trappings

A welcome lay in this morning, though we did only manage to get to bed once Phil had removed the 30 + hair pins that were stuck in my nut :) hehehe - he did good too, I only screamed once ;)

What with not heading home until after we've had sunday dinner with my parents, we've a couple of hours to kill and decide to head off to the Preseli's which we'd travelled over yesterday on the way to the wedding reception (and thought that the view would be ideal for some photo opportunities). So after ascending to the dizzy heights of 1350 ft (not quite enough to make it a mountain, but sufficent to bugger up my ears for the day) we get some snaps of the countryside.

We then head towards Llys-Y-Fran Dam, which is close by, and marvel over the miracles of modern engineering and the gift shop ;)

Finally then, on the way back to my parents we stop off at Pentre Ifan Burial Chamber which is rather cool to say the least :)

After dinner we then pack up and head back home, but not before we take a gander at some of the new plants my parents have bought for their garden. The one I am most struck with is the Black Bamboo, and now I'm pretty tempted to get some to add a bit more privacy to our back garden. I think if we get that and contrast plant it with a red Acer tree is should look rather nice :)

We get home about 9pm after a seemingly endless trip down the motorway, so I filled the time out taking some photos of our car trip... hope they come out ok! :)
