We are one


It's been a while since we posted, but that's because we've been away. On the 7th May we had been married for a whole year (hasn't the time flown?) so we went on holiday for a week to celebrate.

We stayed in another Landmark Trust property, as we did on our honeymoon. This one, St Winifred's Well near Oswestry, was a 14th century chapel building that had also been a court house, bath house and cottage in its long history. It was built over a small spring, which flowed into a series of pools, and was just big enough for two armchairs, two beds and a dinky kitchen. The bathroom was in the old pigsty the other side of the public footpath which ran past the house!

Apart from relaxing at the cottage, we also did quite a few activities - kayacking on Lake Vrynwy, mainly round in circles; a 10 mile Walk along the Offa's dyke path and back over a boggy, peaty mountain; and most fun of all, the go ape course in Delamere forest park. I'm scared of heights, but was far too busy enjoying myself clambering between the trees to think about that!


We spent the weekend in Shrewsbury with Catriona and Ian, then pottered home on Sunday and started planning the next LT break. A holiday around our wedding anniversary seems to be a good habit to get into!
