Holiday Diary! Days 5 & 6

On our 5th day we had an appointment booked at a local spa which was heaven. We had a back massage, facial, head massage and a mini foot massage. While having my back massage I noticed that my masseuse (it sounds so posh) had very long toes and her nails would be perfect for me to try out my pedicure skills. During my facial it was exceptionally hard to keep my eyes open as I was just on a cloud. After we left heaven we decided that we would do the White Rabbit Trail which was a trail around Llandudno looking at places to do with Alice Liddell and Lewis Carroll and the book 'Alice In Wonderland'. They have also erected loads of statues so I tried to get some good photos of them. During the day we missed out Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee so after our dinner (Chinese again, yum) we went to search for them. After getting confused we managed to find them and found ourselves on the most beautiful view point over the town. Unfortunately, as we were walking back, the thought hit us that we were going home the next so we felt a bit sad :(

On our last day before leaving we went for a last amble around town and along the beach. We had a last go on the air hockey machines (I won both times :)) but eventually we had to leave :( but I was glad to come home to cat Roly who spent then spent the night with me (aw).

Holiday Diary! Days 3 & 4

On our third day we went up the Great Orme (a really big hill) a there was some fantastic views and amazing ice cream to eat. It was also the first place I had manage to get full signal on my phone. We went up the Great Orme on a tram and halfway to the top there are mines which are supposed to be the oldest in the world. The mines were actually really cramped so I ended up going round on my own but they were quite interesting and there was a cavern which they lit up with different lights so it looked really majestic. When we came back down we got the land train to the East shore but it wasn't that interesting so we just came back and went back to the indian restaurant for tea. 

The next day we went to the Mountain Zoo. It was a really nice zoo but it was very small and it rained a lot so we just spent the morning there and went back to Llandudno where it was sunny (annoying right?). We ended up sitting on the beach reading before eating chips for tea. When we came back out for a walk there was a swing band playing on the bandstand so we sat and listened to them before going up the pier again to play air hockey (which I won) and relaxed the rest of the evening.

Coughton Court

Yesterday I visited Coughton Court and the one area which really caught my attention and heart was the walled garden. It's a haven of scents, colour and wildlife. Accompanied by the summery drone of bees I explored the garden in detail. Every colour, every flower elevated my mood and I decided to take some photos of this absolute delight. Each photo I took was filled with colour and different flowers and this really is a heavenly place, unless, of course, you suffer with hay fever or have a dislike to bees. I really recommend you visit this area on a warm summers day, especially because of the delectable ice creams you can buy from the shop (when I was eating mine I was accompanied by ducks). The court itself is a Tudor, Grade I listed building with breath-taking views but the gardens are even better. It's located near Alcester and is easily accessible off a the A435.

It's also one week till my birthday!
