So, as you know, it's summer holidays here in the UK. Just. We're (mum and me and others (SHOUTOUT to the Lalani's (without Adam), Rahim, Nanima and the Knowers)) currently in Wales for a long weekend and it's wet. Very wet. HOWEVER, we are here with great people.
Getting to the cottage that we're staying in was a DEBACLE. Like, seriously. It's on a hill in the middle of a forest in Snowdonia National Park. The property doesn't come up on SatNav and you have to use coordinates - as in longitude and latitude, and you have to use written instructions to actually get up the hill/mountain. They are not clear. It says keep left, AND THERE IS A SHEER DROP ON THE LEFT SO NO I WILL NOT KEEP TO THE LEFT. So, the first car (with me navigating) got to the cottage easily enough, and there was one car behind us - they got lost for 45 minutes. The last car wasn't seen for about three hours - and mum had to go and find them to bring them back. That is an impressive feat when there's not really any phone signal or Internet around. It was certainly interesting.
There's no phone reception and they have three routers for WiFi just so there's coverage throughout the house.
Now, bear in mind, when we go on road trips, mum and I are usually well organised - we were not. We left late AND we managed to leave butter, cheese, garlic paste, garlic bread AND THE BROWNIES (:O :O OMG sacrilege) BEHIND. AND we stopped in a supermarket carpark (Waitrose - it was an upscale carpark) and well, half of our car boot (trunk for you Americans) is reserved for the fuzzmonster that is Raffi, and the other half got packed full of food and stuff for the long weekend. I opened the boot (apparently not carefully enough) and the pasta bake that was for dinner, fell out of the boot upside down onto the floor. It was still edible. And if it wasn't, we ate it anyway.
Our days have consisted of eating, talking, playing with a baby and a dog. The weather has been gloom and wetness - SUN WHERE YOU AT BRO?!?!?!
Oh, and it's also been The Attack Of The Midges. Mostly on me. I am bitten and covered in bug repellent and citronella oil and dog spit and baby spit and clothes. You don't want to see me naked.
Shenaya xx
P.S. Haven't got any photos for you guys at the moment, and well, we haven't actually done much so there's not much to write home about.
P.P.S. There are enough giant axes, saws and tools for a serial killer/mass murderer/annoyed family member to kill everyone in this cottage and no one would ever find the bodies. MWAHAHAHAHA.
P.P.P.S. Don't worry, everyone's safe..... For now.
P.P.P.P.S. I promise everyone IS safe.
