Crazy Country Lanes

Our visit to Wales was awesome! It is such a beautiful country... so green and lush and Ruthin is incredibly quaint. Ok this picture is not so green, but the view was breathtaking

Derek decided to show Jenn some of the country lanes, which are only wide enough to accommodate one car, but there are spots along the way to pull to the side to let an oncoming vehicle pass (see below).

Derek's aunt and uncle live there, so we paid them a visit! Here are some pictures of their beautiful house:

Owen played with the dog (Derek's cousin's dog, who also came for a visit) and got spoiled with some new toy cars, which he took everywhere from the day he got them. He also discovered the harmonica and played it for quite some time... Derek's cousin Ruthanna came by with her significant other, Ian, and their son, Bowen. We were all quite entertained by Owen walking around playing the harmonica and Bowen following behind him... sort of like pied piper-style!

Becky, Another one of Derek's cousins came by later on with her significant other, John, and their little one, Tom. Tom had lots of fun on the slide in the garden!

We had a delicious buffet lunch of sandwiches (amazingly soft "baps"... which are rolls), pork pie, quiche, veggies, crisps. Then for dessert there was strawberries and rasperries with double cream. Jenn was in absolute heaven... the strawberries tasted nothing like she's ever had before... so sweet and soft, but not mushy or soggy. Delicious with the double cream! (nothing you can get in Canada, unfortunately) There was also a very nice spread of cakes, which Bowen proceeded to sample each of! Very cute!

We had a great visit to Wales!
