We had a lovely weekend in Wales. Carolan and Frodo had organised some things and we had organised a dinner in our lovely country house that accommodated dogs. Isolde and Tony joined us too as they were starting their tour of the UK.
The crossing on Saturday was a bit rough but we sedated the dogs, and sat in the centre of the HSS ourselves, so we all survived. Goldie had droopy eyelids for the rest of the day but the sedation didn't seem to affect Leavy at all! They had a good run around on Anglesey and we then headed to Caernarvon where B bought out all stocks in a cheese shop. We had a lovely dinner in our guest house and a generally peaceful evening. On Sunday we were woken early by the dogs and enjoyed playing with them and the guest house dogs on their front lawns. We then walked to Aber Falls, a waterfall very like Powerscourt waterfall. We kept the dogs on leads while we were passing sheep, but they also got a good free run.
We hadn't bothered to check whether the HSS was running on Sunday as it was sunny and calm. There was a long, slow queue at the check-in and it was only as we arrived at the desk that we discovered that the HSS wasn't running due to a technical problem. We were lucky enough to get onto the Stena ferry instead, but were probably about the 10th last to get onto it. A lot of people were left behind, though they may have made the Irish Ferries ferry later.
Now there is all the missed washing to be done, backed up from 2 weekends of not being free. What fun!
