Please remember I have missed alot of details out but also note my kids who are very young got ill and had chicken pox!!
So with the car breaking, being ill and the kids being ill people falling down mountains - I still think Wales is great because you can just stay in the car and drive round - stop in the middle of nowhere so the kids can try and catch a lamb to bring home and not give anyone chicken pox!
Going Back next Year!!!!!
and will see a PEREGRIN and RED KITE!!!!!!!!!!!
what a busy fortnight you have had - very productive
theres birds on this list i only dream of seeing
sorry to hear about your kids no well - hope they are better now
