Morning all, hope you are well!
We had a bacon sarnie to start us off today.
I haven’t been feeling as though I am getting as much from my fitness as I would like, however, coming back to the same cottage as five months ago, which has a steep 100m path to and from the car park, has been a real pleasing eye opener!
Last time, I had to stop 5 times up that hill and it took me a good couple of minutes each stop before I felt I could carry on.
This time, I only need to stop once, and it’s a much shorter stop, this is a really great moment for me, knowing that my healthy lifestyle is actually working π€
Below are some pics with Paul, Dan and Lynne to give an idea of bloody horrible hill scale! The first pic shows the steepest bit which is a real bugger after the arduous walk up!
The last pic shows Paul just realising he’s gone ahead but I have the key π€£




We went for a wander round the local village, Llanberis, which is a short drive away.
Paul is taking our friends up to Padarn Castle which is in Llanberis, Wales, I thought I’d look and listen to the water for a while, so calming.


Here’s a pic of the castle from my first visit:

We stopped at a great little tea shop, I had victoria sponge, it was delicious!
Now we’re back at the cottage and Paul is making fire!

Dan and Lynne are making chicken and leek casserole.


And I’m making use of doing nothing by updating blog π
So naughty brekkie and lunch, healthy dinner, but alcohol will be on the menu later!
We’ve currently walked over 12000 steps today.
Btw, yesterday I had fried chicken and chips, but I only had a handful of chips and not all the chicken. Plus 3 long vodkas and Pepsi max.
So, signing off for now. Byeeee π€
Beautiful landscape and scenery! Reminds me of my home state of West Virginia with the greenery and mountains. What an enjoyable way to get in some exercise!

It is beautiful, Wales is only 4ish hours away, but we rarely visit. We’re going to try and visit once a year. West Virginia sounds beautiful π.
