We spent just a week at the lodge in June … with no visitors.
As usual, if the weather forecast were to be believed, we were expecting lots of wet and miserable weather. Also as usual … the forecast got it totally wrong and we ended up having some really lovely days.
We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and, as we believed the Friday would be the only dry day, we had a big day out planned … hoping to make the best of it.
We were heading for Bodnant Gardens, about an hour away. We were hoping to catch the last of the laburnum arch and the best of the roses.
We had the loveliest of days … the laburnum was a bit past its best, but the roses were spectacular …
On Saturday we stayed local, with a visit to Lavender House and the gallery at Llanbedrog …
On Sunday the weather didn’t look good but we decided we would go out anyway … and if we got wet then so be it. We were on a hunt for a waterfall … a new one we’d not been to before … from our Hidden Waterfalls walk book.
It was a nice short walk from a roadside lay-by, taking in the waterfall and a walk through forestry land and the waterfall was a real find … and the rain did not materialise … you can read more about the walk here …
Since we visited the last time we were here there has been lots of activity with eggs hatching right, left and centre, so we wanted to have another look.
This time we were lucky enough to see both Elen and her partner Teifi on their next through the telescope …
We had one more stop on our way back. After four years we finally managed to be in the right place at the right time to meet up with friends who have a place on the Aberdunant Hall Holiday Park. We spent a very relaxing hour or so on the hotel terrace chilling out and catching up. It was a lovely way to finish off a very full and eventful day …
Although Martin did finish off fitting some new outside lights …
