so i went and hw much gafore went with it?...!!

...lots would be the answer.nw lets get some background on this nevr ending worlwind of a holiday slash stress fest lol.
we all have heard me talk bout our families place in wales,yes wales chalet,beach bootfil.and every yr we have a permanent weeks spot in it,and nw we often have it for long weekends in between too.trust me u step into that world on that beach u would want to too!!this yr though i decide like the time before nw to stay at home,to spend some time on my own some space, from the rest of the family no,bt simply to roam round at home for a bit,sometimes we all jst need to clear our heads u no.so i said this,and of course mum and dad ave been trying to get me to come,we have had a few disputes though we had the major ones lst time so this time wasnt so ad lol!!and then on the morning of them going i woke,this was probably a good thing and bad,cz i told them nt to wake me as i new i would only miss it.bt in the night and through the pst day i had been having momment of saying im going and then crawling back thinking it was simply my need to be in that special place.bt at 2am the night before i packed my bags and decide i would go,then calming down a bit i decided it was a tired panicking stuper and said no i actually dnt want o.bt in the end the nxt day as they were goin i woke and u wanted to go,bt i lay in my bed thingking no calm down and its too late there going,and so thye did,nw would it have been easier for me nt to have woken or would i have later woken and really bin in the shit,cz they phoned when they wre down the road at the shpo to say come on lst chance comes with us,and after a few tears of my undesisivness dad caqme on the line and said 'were putting down the phone and coming to get you.PACK NOW'and so that is hw it went i packed i walked out the door and we traveled 4 and a bit hrs to get to our place on the beach.oh what a sight to be hold too,my my i had forgotten waht a wanderful place it was,you can tell this people by the fact that the weather forecast looked mre like a sinister nightmare than anyhting else and we were as excited as evr.and so i unpacked my bags in my room(we all have our own room which we always use)gran is situated at the other end of the chalet away from theother rooms,nt to get rid of her jst because this was always the way mre ofa gues wing offthe lounge up a few steps.(and she does pee in a bucket and it sounds like shes filling a well)haha too much info!!
throughout the stay it was on and off raining and every time the sun came out mjum had her book fgripped and ran outside on the varanda tripping slightly as she was wripping her trousers up at the same time lol.that night we went tothe local spa shop,all were too tired to do the weekly shop that night.i couldnt of course check my blogs or up to date this site as they dnt have phones there or internet(in a way i hate it cz come on you know why that would be bt it truly ius a place of peace and rexpite from the stresses of the world so it is kept that.)we gotone of the usually bought deli chickens and some conrflour,sweetcorn,and bread,of course a few nibble somehow slipped in there too!!hw i will nvr know!!and then i said i'd make tea and so i did,there are many meals we mst all have in our heads that we have at certain times,like in ceertain places,likes we always pack the pasta,tom auce and tuna for camping and weener sausages and jst u no the meals we associate wit certian places that we always cook tere,if nt we do and one of them is this meal,its one we always think hmm frst night,tired, long journey bt need something fingr licking good in the belly,and this or slodge is it,its chicken in white sauce, no joke bout the name cz thats what is it,cooked chicken put into a white saue and sweetcron in it,served easily with rice and seasoned,you think its too simple to be good dnt bet your nelly on it,its a favourite and loved by all.

later that night we watched a bit of t.v gave up on staying awake and everyeon went to bed.traveling is a tiring things lol,of course all were somewhat happier when the mcdonalds filled there bellys,oh and of course when the journey was barely too minutes in gran got out her always made bacon sarnies which were shared with lovely noises lol.and a few loo stops too of course,many crisps and sweets i think were pulled from the coool bag too!!
i unpacked the food bags too,this is my job,because we are literally on the cliff side to the beach the hill to get to the challet is quite a goodies so dad and sam have becmome the fetchers and they unload the car whilst me and mum grab it off them at the door,and im the food women because i keep it clean and i am the only one that will sifen stuff off so the teenager cnt eat all the doritos in one lol!!
on sunday we decide we mst do our big shop so off we went to tesco.its always nicer somehow to shop here i dnt know myabe its jst the fact the places are soo mch mre peaceful in the quite place and everyone seems all the mr happy to help and friendly,i swear whenever we tell people where we are they go'ooooh ...... thats the lvieles places isnt it'
ooh i interupt firstly we did nt go straight to shop,me and mum always have some little adeventures together likegoing into the countryside no knowing where we were jst knowing we needed to see green and found our little dream cottages and decide to go on further lol,and today it was the tunr of going to the tourist office to ask where the better cycle routes were for people like us(lazy buggers bt wanting to nt be those people)as this yr we bought our bikes on the back of the car for the very first times.whichis a gamble inetself the roads where we are are dangerous to ay the least,and thats jst for cars,you often go round the corner and slam on the brakes because the lanes or so indy and country like a slim you have to take it in turns to reverse back to make way.the lovley lady gave us many free tit bits of advice and a great leaflet in a plastic wallet,o.k crap for the envirmoemtn bt great for messy people like us,and she directed to a little town ovr the bridge.as we got in the car and mum said lets go have a look i though ovr the brige and when i uttered bridge to mum with the puzzle look on my face she looked atme with a cheeky smile'oh yes she said te bridge up there into a new world'a bridge i kept thinkig where is this things i have nvr hard of it,and as we cralwed up the hill(nw in a snow storm might i say)we came ot the top and there it was the toll boothtotake us onto the bridge,hwich we both were crapping all the way ovr coz the snow was quite literally stopping us see anything.trust it to come right then eh?and then we were out and into the place we were told bout and poh hw pretty it was,mum had been here in the pst bt she said brdge in the high pitched tone as i did cz it was somewhere we nvr went,nt out of nt liking the place bt cz we nvr feel the need to travel outside our magical beech bubble lol.and we went down and down and down and down and down this hill for a while(passing our new homes by the way which i will b looking up on the interenet in a sec lol)mum loves the look of the new wales looking builds and would love to live in them,way out of our price league yes bt shut it we can look and imangine right..yes good answer!! and then we got to our destination the marina.where there were these cute little marina front homes where you can imagine all the boaties live there lol,and there were some pretty boats in to dock too,including the ferry to island which we would have been slight too tmetped i think to dodge ovr if we had had our passports lol.and then we found the cycle path it looked pretty cool ad we had seen someone going on it unfer us as we cross the foggy bridge so we new where it went!!
and then we crawled back upo the hill and off to tesco,nw it isnt jst us there is deff a different and bettr selection of foods in wales,there are mre cakes mre bakery bits and drinks and all the stuff has a biggr range and its nt jst welsh produce that make sit,like wesore cadbury and kipling stuff we had nvr heard of.ooooooooooh mum elated purchase was the treacles spone(tate and lycle i might put there)ie cream,there were loads though like apple crumble from mrs beeton and all sorts of ice creams and other stuff we would nvr get at home,bt its the same as all things in life we seem ot have lesser selction whre we live of lots of neeeded stuff.we shopped and had fun looking at all the stuff we couldnt get at home,and then went to the checkout and walked out trying to scrap our jaws off the floor,oh yes wales you cheeky git you offer so much,webuy it we spend lots.shit!!common sense is needed nt me and mums goggle eyes,bt home we went and sturggled like buggery to take the stuff down the hill wihtout going ass up and mum wasstraught inthe ice cream giving gran a spoon to try tyr tyr tyr tyr!!which she did and the noises from them both said it all to be quite honest with yuou lol.and the men were down at the beach and as soon as the gate went the ice crema was hidden away lol.
then after much umming and arrrring they all went on a boke ride,oh nt all granny as young as she is hehe!!couldnt quite go with thm and i was tired and still shell shocked from the shop lol,and so i staye dhome and prepared tea,they came back with moans and groans,oh yes you twits wales i quite known for being a hilly places.arses!!and so i laid out steak and kidney pies with roasts and veg(all pre-made)bt dnt you tut ifyou didnt cook it right it would be burn shit and awful tasting so theres still fun cooking and prep involved.they decide against the crumble as they shoveled in two pies lol!!and then we settled dow nfor a game of yatzee which i though i lst appalingly at bt i didnt.and gran who had nvr played and looked often at the dice wih he old lady paranoia scared of everyhing so was worreid the dice mgiht explode on her,she won i think.
bt hw am i wriing this you ask,you dn oh who cares i want to tell,in the end i missed home too much and had things i needed to look after here so my wonderful pops who i moan at far too much for him ot be this nice to me,drove all the way home which was brill in istelf coz him and mjum usualy take turns and i arrived home to the sister who is preparing for her intervview.and he went back early today.bless him!!so nw im missing them bt its only when i think of it like oh hw many mre hrs lef in the day what will i do does it bring the butterflies being sick in my stomach feeling lol!!
so they will all be enjoying the bakery nw.the bakery oh to put a bit on this wonderful place in here,it has been there since my dad was young as he went from a bab like we did too,and it was then run by the guy that nw does its dad,who is slightly floaty nw and wuite a bit deaf lol so his son runs it,and people flcok queeing from out the door lol,seriously you have nvr tried anything like this no no no no no im nt being a oh mum cooks bettr than anyone kind of thing no quit eliterally these are the niest made and tasting things evr,from breads to bakes to cakes to pastries it has everything and the rolls are the icing on the three tired cake and are loved and so much so we have to sometimes have a special bag brought out the back tha the man coz he knws us lovingly saves from the other customers,its very family styled though and both blokes are lvoely,you dnt server yourself they stand a the counter and get you all you need and whislt you wait you can have a look at the rack of leaflets of things to do plastered around the places.jst lovely.
