Back-dated Welsh holiday notes - Saturday, 31st August, 2013 - I love our Saturday shopping day!

It's been a long hard week writing, gardening, cooking and cleaning,, and that's just me!

The dear SO has been busy getting on with the house-fixing, clambering up onto scaffolding, chimney-stack painting, a little hard pruning and mending  the broken head of an old garden rake, found lingering in the stone shed - and I thought we didn't have one!!!

The rake head was just hanging on by a thread and, to my eye, it looked completely beyond help, but the dear man contrived to connect it up and, hey presto, we now have a usable garden tool:)

I'm already drawing up my list of "must-bring-holiday-needs" for our next visit, for now I'm gardening, it seems there's always a part of someones garden to attend to, to weed or prune, wherever we end up.  Think I'll carry my secateurs and gloves with me too, just in case, must keep my hands nice and soft.

We dashed off to Brecon for breakfast at our favourite internet cafe and He had The most enormous breakfast stack of soft white bap, delicious bacon, tasty sausage and egg, sunny-side-up, plus brown sauce nicely ready to ease out with the first mouthful!  I had the same thick sliced bacon with poached egg and mushrooms, which was perfect!

Then a little wander about the shops and antique emporiums, missing the fabulous fabric and haberdashery venue, then on to buy the weekend newspapers and food needs, before heading back up to the hills again and home!

Phew!!!
