Wye Valley

[allana]

We went to Wales today as a spur of the moment thingy.

It's surprisingly pretty--but not as pretty as Scotland, of course--and I didn't see a single leek but we did see flocks and flocks of (seemingly unmolested) sheep. Wales also appears to be mole country--the banks of the river Wye were dotted with molehills.

Must go back in the summer when the trees are less naked....

I'm so jealous, Ang! Not only did I never make it to Scotland, I also never went to Wales. :( It must be so beautiful! Ever since I saw that movie with Hugh Grant, The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill And Came Down A Mountain, I wanted to go to Wales. One day, one day. :/

Well, we did go to what I'm told is the most beautiful part--the Wye Valley. There were lots of snowdrops and crocuses on the forest floor as we drove through it so spring is definitely on the way.

I have great plans to go back later in the year with a picnic and spend the whole day there. We wanted to go for a walk up to Symonds Yat--I believe a yat is a flat-topped hill/mountain--and take a look down over the whole valley but it was a 2km walk up and I'd already had a good long walk earlier on, so I chickened out ;) Plus, it was cold!

Now I'm even more jealous. It started to snow again this afternoon and it's all white again outside. I want spring! :|

I've once spent a week in Wales, riding Welsh Cobs. It was beautiful there and I enjoyed it a lot.

This is odd, we posted at the exact same time. xD

And at 11.11 on the 11th. (at least my local time)

LOL. Cool.

As a Zeppelin fan, I keep meaning to visit Wales. But [pats empty pockets], it'll have to wait for now.

I went to Wales for a day, but I don't remember much other than weird names of places while we were trying to navigate :). And it was in the middle of winter, so I'm sure it's more beautiful in the summer.
