Our Weekly Journal 11th Sept 2017 Buses

 Our Weekly Journal 11th Sept 2017 - Buses 

It wasn't a good start to the week, the car had a problem with the rear brake lights and our local garage had told us the switch had to be replaced but this could only be done by the dealership. That wouldn't be too bad but it's two buses and they do not have courtesy cars. I had to stay indoors as we were waiting for the appliances we had borrowed for Grandads post surgery recovery to be collected.

I just love new born babies, so soft, so small. Just gorgeous.

Cardiff City Sightseeing Bus Tour - A Toddler Explores

Cardiff City Sightseeing Bus Tour - A Toddler Explores

Bear loves buses, I mean he really, really loves buses. We often catch the bus into Cardiff City Centre just for the bus ride. So for ages we have wanted to take him on an open topped bus tour of Cardiff. At the moment we only have Bear two days a week and we have been waiting for some dry weather on one of those days. Today the forecast was dry so we caught the bus into town, and then caught the tour bus.

Our Weekly Journal 4th Sept 2017 - Selfies and No Internet

I didn't write a journal last week, there were many reasons for that. Our internet went down and I couldn't edit any photos. I don't do a lot of editing, I just make them smaller so they load quickly. I did manage to use my phone as a modem but I was so busy writing complaint e-mails to BT that I just ran out of time. We were decorating, everything went wrong from the wallpaper not being printed correctly to the blind being a pain to fix. I couldn't even get a good selfie as Bear kept hogging it.

Well I'm cheating at bit this week and having two photos. I missed last week by not having any internet and struggling to get photos loaded or anything to work quickly. So this week I have two.

The first is of the Weeping Window at The Senedd in Cardiff. It is made up of thousands of handmade ceramic poppies. They can be seen from outside and inside the Senedd (The home to The National assembly for Wales).

They are a small part of the sculptural installations, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, that were at the Tower of London in 2014. They are in Cardiff until 24th September.

They are both beautiful and poignant.

The second is of my gorgeous grandsons (of course). Bear is becoming the best big brother and although he does have some jealous moments he is mostly being so lovely.

Summer Afternoon Tea at The Celtic Manor

Summer Afternoon Tea at The Celtic Manor

I love afternoon tea so was really pleased to be invited* to The Celtic Manor for Summer Afternoon Tea with Jo from First Time Valley Mam and Julie from Picking Up Toys.
We were taken into the beautiful Olive Tree Garden Room and once seated offered a glass of Prosecco. How could I refuse? Jo had kindly given me a lift and Julie was also driving, so whilst Jorge, our waiter, opened a fresh bottle at the table and poured me a glass they looked on wistfully.
