stories over stuff
So a couple of weeks ago I had a week off work. Mostly just to recharge from work – I tend to take my holidays after my colleague goes on holiday cause the week he is off is usually hell. Sometimes he takes the week off after I have my week off for the same reasons.…
With the Summer holidays officially upon us (can’t you tell by the rain), here is the first of a few posts I’m gonna do about places to visit in Wales. They’ll focus on my little part of the country at first and expand as I travel around (and by that I mean, once I learn…
