I have friends staying and the ladies all plan to go down to Cardiff for a day of retail therapy. Cardiff has swish shops, a terrific walk through shopping center with every type of shop you can think of and so many different places to stop for a tasty lunch or a delicious cup of coffee.

The men all have different plans. Bob is going to get the big red tractor out and do some work on the Estate, Robbie and Barry are going logging and Big John has planned a full days fishing down on the Towy & Cothi rivers. We packed him a picnic with home made bread filled with thinly sliced, slightly pink local lamb, tomatoes just picked from the greenhouse and thinly sliced hand cut crispy game chips. Washed down with a can of his favourite tipple this will make a good lunch. We are hoping he will bring back supper.

We are still finishing http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ Just a few more things to do on the web site and it will be fully operational.
