Lazy Tintern Days
Thursday 1st August 2013 While the children slept, and Leigh knitted, Daddy drove from Cardiff to Monmouthshire (passing briefly out of Wales and then back in again) to take everyone to Tintern.

Whotastic
Thursday 1st August 2013 This is the first real day of our weeklong break with Great Nan in Wales. Today Daddy Keating wanted to try and get into the Dr Who Experience once again. So with little fanfare everyone was bundled into the car and we went to Cardiff. The parking was easy enough and…
