Hey everyone! We're back, and excited for another post. Yesterday, Wednesday, we headed over to Caernarfon. We had a fairly rushed morning, as we had to be there to meet Nan and Bob at 11:00! We met them in a nice little bookshop, before walking to a cafe with a view of the castle for a drink.

After dinner, we went to visit Auntie Gwineth, our
