About Me

South Wales, United Kingdom
Im forty something! Married, mum to two wonderful daughters, both very different, both very special. Im originally from Edinburgh but have spent almost 2/3rds of my life in South Wales now and so am probably as much Welsh (if not more) than Scottish. Until the age of 16 (when I left Edinburgh) I spent a lot of time with Great uncles and aunts in East and West Lothian,but also with family and friends in the centre of the city. So had an equal country and city upbringing. I would spend hours walking in the Pentland hills (with family, friends, alone), hours in the countryside, hours in the dress shops in town with my friends, trying on endless outfits I couldnt afford, hours dreaming that I would marry Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky!!) and definitely hours planning that once I had made it as an actress (which is why Paul would fall madly in love with me) I would learn to fly a plane, hopefully it would help with my developing fear of heights, star in a west end show, have a hit single and buy a ranch somewhere that Paul and I could hear the wolves howling in the distance. Then I had dreams! Read the rest of my story starting at Broken Dreams

Other Walks



Today we walked up the mountain path behind Dan yr Ogof showcaves. It was a walk that I was meant to do on Friday, with a couple of friends, but had to turn back really before we got started as I wasnt feeling too well.



I had been really, really disappointed to have to give up on the Friday and most certainly missed out on an amazing walk and an amazing day. The weather was fantastic and is reflected in the pictures they both took. (Check out the Wellington bomber pics on the links at the bottom of the page). 




Now I am someone who hates to give up and so of course I had to go and try again. I didnt plan to do the whole walk but wanted to at least try to do part of the walk that had been planned.
We only walked for a couple of hours as we set off late but we were so lucky with the weather and we had lovely views across to Fan Gyhirych and over to the sleeping giant. I have to say thanks to my hubby for the 'occassional' verbal push! But seriously .... did you have to find the steepest bits for me to climb up that hill!!
We had a lovely surprise that we met up with one of the friends who I was meant to walk with on Friday and it was great to walk back down chatting and laughing with her.
Today turned a pretty miserable weekend into a good one.
Will post more photos soon.
