Highs and lows
I spent much of last week fighting a stomach bug. This was annoying. I thought I was over it by Friday evening, but after half a beer I felt terrible. I ended up not seeing Sharknado, although by all accounts I didn't miss much.
I was worried I'd have to ring round on Saturday morning to say I wasn't coming to Tigg & Tom's ten-year do, which I really wanted to go to, but luckily I felt better by then. Not completely well, but well enough.
I got a ride down with Andy, Jacquie and Isabelle. It was raining (quite a lot) when we arrived but the scenery was beautiful. The Clarks checked in at their B&B where the owner offered me a remaining spare room. I was meant to be camping with the Chivers though, so we headed down to the camp site.
It continued to chuck it down with no sign of stopping, and the camp site was just an exposed field with a ten minute walk to the nearest public toilets. So when Jacquie rang, I thought "sod this" and asked her to book that spare room for me. A wise decision I feel.
The party was at Llanwddyn Community Centre and kicked off at 7pm. There was line dancing, balloons and lots of party games. It was great to see folks who I'd not seen in years, not just Tigg and Tom but also Sally and Jim. I wasn't ready to risk beer again and my appetite wasn't up to eating much pig, but what I had was very tasty :o)
It was a fun and relaxing evening. Not very rock and roll as several of us called it a night around 10:30, but then we are all ten years older!
The weather was much better the next day, so I joined the Clarks for a drive around Lake Vyrnwy, stopping at various points to get out and explore / take photos.
We went round Tigg and Tom's in the afternoon before heading back to Sheffield. I'd not seen their place before, so I enjoyed finally seeing their fab garden and the chickens!

P.S. - I've also added photos to my post about my sister's visit to Sheffield the previous weekend.
P.P.S. - Oh, and I'm feeling better now.
