Forgive the lack of blog time recently. I had a busy work week and then a mad rush to get us ready to come away on holiday to stunning North Wales.
We are back in Wales. I love this beautiful country. I am sitting looking at Caernarfon Castle as I type this on my phone and we are about to head off to Anglesey Island. It is a rather grey day today but the rain has held off so far. Yesterday we had a glorious sunny day and drive up the stunning coastline to another castle at Harlech.
Low impact life in North Wales
Low impact life in North WalesOur base is once again at a permaculture small holding near Machynlleth, the fourth time we have stayed – it is starting to feel like a second home. Our accommodation for the week is in a caravan next to a stream with ducks and some ponies for company. It is amazing value at £180 for a week and our hosts Tom and Liza couldn’t be friendlier. They also have a tiny campsite with a covered kitchen and compost toilet which is even cheaper. Check it out here.
There is a freezing pond too and Mr S loves to take the plunge. Not me – I am a wimp and prefer yoga on the veranda.
Peace and relaxation
It is just the peace and relaxation we need at the moment as life is so busy at home. I will breathe in the green and the quiet and take it back with me. Wish I could bottle it. Will blog again when I find some Wi-Fi but in truth it is lovely to have a break from technology too.

Looks like you are having a great time in my adopted homeland. Will check out the website link.

I would be curious to know if the alternative technology site is still there – I was there nearly 30 years ago and found it fascinating. Enjoy your hols, it looks beautiful. Anna

Yes it is – we are members but probably won’t go as it is frankly disappointing nowadays. It needs updating but they have put all their funds and energy into the education centre there -not very interesting for the casual visitor. I find this frustrating as there is still so much they could do to inspire people to live a more sustainable life.
