Home, Wales - 31st March 2011
By: miapearl
Some of the toys are going away on their travels tomorrow, so we thought we'd have a game of Cluedo playing in teams
However, we spent far too much time chatting instead of concentrating on the game and we all drew the 8th clock leaving the crime unsolved.

Gwynedd & Anglesey, Wales - 3rd April 2011
By: miapearl
we went out GeoCaching.
The first two we found are part of a series. This is exciting stuff, looking for the treasure. Which stump/tree is it hiding under?
Then, after a nice afternoon cuppa, we found a third.
Mummy isn't putting in latitude and longitude co-ordinates for this as these caches we found are scattered around.

The Allotment in Caernarfon, Wales - 10th April 2011
By: miapearl
Mummy took us to the allotment today.
This is a young broad bean plant. The weevils have been out munching and making notches in the leaves.
They've even been nibbling on the pea leaves.
This rhubarb plant is throwing up a flower stem. We'd better chop it so it doesn't waste resources on it. Perhaps we can have some rhubarb stems later and make a pie.

Welsh Highland Railway, Wales - 11th April 2011
By: miapearl
Today, we are going on the train.
This is first class.
Here, we are at Dinas station. When the Welsh Highland Railway was being rebuilt, Dinas was the HQ. There are work trains and carriages, and engines in need of repair.
The railway meets the River Gwyrfai several times along its route.
There's quite a bit of water in the river.
There are fields alongside the railway, this one has horses.
We are coming into Betws Garmon. Can you see the bell in the church tower?
It is a long train. Can you see the steam engine at the other end?
This is Cwellyn, a reservoir supplying water to parts of north Wales.
We had to wait for the train coming in the other direction to stop at Rhyd Ddu before we could continue. The train is also steam-hauled.
They've got a first class carriage, but the one we're in was unveiled by the Queen in 2010 after refurbishment.
The carriage is called Glaslyn, after another river this railway meets.
We are off for the second half of the journey. This section was opened last year, and then not all the way to Porthmadog.
There's the River Glaslyn.
Here we are coming into Porthmadog. The river is the Glaslyn here too, the estuary.
The river is the Glaslyn here too
The Glaslyn estuary. And now, we have arrived in Porthmadog. It is time to run for the bus to take us back home before school closes for the day.
