Wellies in Wales

As we we'd entered the WKC champ show in Builth Wells, we decided to make a bit of a mini break of the weekend trip and booked a pitch at a campsite near the show ground at Fforest Fields. What an entertaining stay we had! The first night it rained so hard it sounded like rapid machine gun fire as the water droplets hit the tent, the wind was howling and to top it all off, our noisey neighbours (see below) kept breaking into choruses of baaaa-ing. Believe me, if we'd taken a BBQ there'd have been lamb chops all round!

Jet had the right idea...(yes that is a sheep bone he's got in his mouth...)

We awoke on Sunday morning - the 20th August - our first wedding anniversary, and the day began like this (just passing were you Jet?):

Actually...that's not strictly true; to say that we "awoke" would infer that we had slept and I'm fairly certain that's not the case! When we left the show we went for a lovely walk in the hills surrounding the campsite. The photo below shows one of one of the smaller ones with Jet and I at the bottom for scale. To some this may not seem much, but to a family that lives in the notoriously flat and hill-free Fens, this was a veritable mountain!

The appearance of a patch of blue sky was enough to warrant a photo as it's the only bit of sky we saw that wasn't covered by rain clouds for the entire day!
