Wales for the weekend


We had a really special occasion this weekend - Nain Beryl turned 70 and there was a family gathering that had been planned for a long time. Rhodri's 3 siblings were all there - Nia, Trystan and Sioned, as well as Nia's and Trystan's children. We drove up on Friday night after the kids' tennis camp finished at 5pm and due to traffic and a couple of stops, we arrived around 12:30am.
One of the gifts to Nain was a deluxe "zero gravity" chair for deluxe lounging in the back garden.
On Saturday afternoon, we took the kids (+ Gabriel and Valentin) to the beach so they could get some wiggles out before the 5:30pm sitting at Porth Eirias restaurant in Colwyn Bay.
The dinner itself was lovely and we all were able to enjoy ourselves while dining on delicious food.
There is a playground attached to the restaurant itself where the whole herd of kids frolicked between courses under the watchful eye of one of us adults - this was a lifesaver!

It was a great evening with no drama or discord. And actually, today was also Trefor and Beryl's anniversary with Beryl's actual birthday on Mon 17 August. Celebrations all around!
