A couple of days away, without the kids, who are at home having a ball with granny. Meanwhile, we are enjoying the fabulous Welsh countryside, though as a 5 month pregnant lady, with an exhausted 10k running husband with a now dodgy knee in tow, our rambles are more like ambles… but all the better […]
