return from Holidays

I have now returned from a holiday with mum and dad in wales, in a small seaside town called Newgale which is not all that far from St.David's I had a fun time although it was rather sad that my younger sister couldn't come as she was too busy. We were staying very near the sea just down the lane. The beach was beautiful after a high shingle bar there was a long strech of sand a beach with great waves. Often there were only a handful of people on the beach.
Mum got me a wet suit, the knind that stops at the elbows and the knees. This made sweeming really nice maybe too hot even. We had a couple of day trips to St Davids and to Haverodewest. But mainly we just stayed put. There are a lot of megalithic sites in the vicinity aswellas ironage settlements. All in all a very interesting place just a long way from where we live. (When we go to Wales we normally go to mid or north wales). On our return journy we stoped of for lunch in Machlleth. So a fun time but now its back to work.

I have been having a quite time after my short hoilday in Ireland. I having been doing some work on my thesis, although as always i feel asthough I have mad enough progress. I am also waiting for somebooks that I have ordered to get here one is a gift and the other is the sayings of Rebbe M. Mendle of Kotz as part of my interest in Polish Hasidic thought brought about by the course that I went on. Well I have had a very peacefull weekend. And am looking forward the family hoilday which is coming along soon.

Happy times

I have tacken a brake from PhD and other work. I went on a breif hoilday over in Ireland in county Waterford. Staying with my friend Marianna her husband and her little girl. It was lovely to see her again amazingly its been 11 years! scene we last met. But we have been friends (pen pals) for years and years (almost 15!). I flow with a cheap airline from manchester on a very little plane. Her little girl is lovely very talkative and interested in everything.
On Saturday we went to the breach and then on a mountain top walk. On the next day we all went to see a megalith in county Cork. Although it was only a weekend it was really lovely and a great brake from PhD and other work. It was so nice to be able to bulid on the friendship.
Also I was luckly with the weather...it was aboslutly wonderful hot and sunny.
