Now that we are back home and the internet connection isn't disconnecting every couple of minutes, I can show you more of our weekend! To finish off Friday, here are the little goodies I bought
lovely coarse wool to knit a bag, which should felt well
a kit to knit a very cute sheep teacosy
oops - another book
On Saturday, we headed first to Denbigh, to visit the castle. We were a bit perplexed when the women who sold us our tickets said that the castle was closing for a year ..... as it was being knocked down and rebuilt. Howver, she clarified what she meant - it is the visitor centre that is being replaced, not the magnificent ruins!
Next we went to Conwy, where there is an even bigger castle. To reach it, we walked across the suspension bridge
This was when I had to be very brave, to climb long spiral staircases, and stand on top of very high walls and towers
we were standing on top of a matching tower!
yes, that's Malcolm's hand!
the enclosed bridge on the right carries the railway
the people are dwarfed by the walls
After leaving the castle, there were more heights to scale, as we went for a walk round the town walls
there is only a railing to stop you falling off!
we were above these wonderful old chimneys
looking down on the smallest house
But then - the reward for surviving all those stairs and heights ....... fish and chips for dinner (and bread and butter)
However, Saturday's heights were nothing compared to where we went yesterday! Come back tomorrow to see just how brave I had to be!!
