Our visit to North Wales.

Lovely photos, yes the mountains are amazing.
I first heard the story of Gelert when I was in school, it always makes me feel sad.

I've always wanted to visit Bodnant but when we were on holiday near-by we had a nasty thunder storm and they closed the gardens due to flooding.

Julia your beautiful photos have brought back such wonderful memories for John and I.
His parents had a little cottage in Nantgwynant which is just down the road from Beddgellert, so we recognised every scene that you photographed. It is such a pretty place.
Bodnant Gardens look stunning and have such an air of peace and gentleness.
So pleased you had such a lovely holiday and so pleased you went to North Wales!!

Julia, I am pleased that you enjoyed your break away after such a long time of going nowhere! It must have lifted your spirits a great deal.

Many years ago we had planned to visit Bodnant Garden but I developed Sciatica and was in agony! We really must plan a visit in the future as it looks wonderful in your photos . . . :o)

So pleased you had a lovely Holiday,Julia,and North Wales has always been a favourite place of ours.The scenery is stunning,isn't it? We have also been to Beddgelert,and knew of it's history,which was fascinating,but sadly,we never managed to visit Bodnant Gardens, but one day I hope we will. .not sure if we would manage the 80 Acres though !

Thank you for a wonderful tour of North Wales. It's a very beautiful place. I hope you are well rested with lots of nice memories.

Julia, your blog is just wonderful! I feel like I’ve had a little holiday myself reading through it and enjoying your gorgeous pics too! It is definitely just what the doctor ordered - a holiday away from the ongoing virus amid other things that have been going on this past while..
A beautiful area of the UK indeed! Lots of very pretty, rustic and charming spots! The story/legend of Gelert is indeed a very sad story.
I’m pleased you managed to get to Bodnant Gardens too - what a big, beautiful place to visit! Thankfully you could rest as you made your way round the 80 acres!
The pic of you is lovely too! You look well and happy! 😊

Just catching up because we've been away ourselves. I'm glad you've had the chance of a break. We went to Bodnant many years ago so your pics. were a good reminder. Good to see you in the flesh!

Sending you a PM x

So glad you were able to visit both Beddgelert (Gelert's grave) and Bodnant (house by the stream!) - both lovely places to see. When we went to Bodnant years ago there were no fish in the pool because otters from the stream in the valley had come up into the garden and eaten them all...

What a sad story that was Julia! The scenery there looked amazing and you were so lucky with the weather! I liked the picture of you! Looking so relaxed and tanned!

Hi ,that's a lovely holiday for your memory bank. We always went to Portmeirion when in Snowdonia.
Gorgeous hotel there too, especially if you're a Poirot-ite.. No pics of you on the zipwire......?

My son snd his partner have just bought a house north west of the Beacons. It is a wonderful are.

Two of my favourite places to visit when in N'Wales, never could tire of going M'land, your photo's bring to mind some lovely times spent there, I remember one time when we visited Bodnant there weren't any fish in the pond, a worker told us they had been taken by poachers, I was shocked at that as well as angry, thankfully it was replenished, hope you bought a plant, I have to each time I go....Lovely blog and photo's..x

I would love to see Wales.. maybe someday! thanks for posting this lovely travelogue, Julia.
