Valentine's Weekend

A cheeky little break!


After having the last two weeks cooped up inside what with the weather, waiting in for post and maintenance men plus a whole day bidding on an auction of comics for the other half (!) I really felt like I needed a short escape!

So I booked a night in a country house within the Brecon Beacons - just look at the view from our room first thing in the morning:
 This is the hotel:

We drove up on the Saturday and on the way up we stopped off at Raglan Castle:

The castle is an interesting mix of ruin and restoration with lots of nooks and crannies to explore. 
On the Sunday we were tipped off about a fantastic walk up to Table Mountain which we started as a loop walk from the hotel - a total of around 7 miles.

Now it's back to it! I have been sketching a lot today working on some designs for handmade chains to go with some beautiful artisan silver charms that arrived from the States last week - pics to follow :)
