It was decided at about 9pm last Thursday that a short holiday was in order, last minute booking of a family style resort in Wales ensued. Date to leave? The morning after! Nothing like forward planning… ;)

Isabel seemed to enjoy herself, and got to experience lots of firsts. First holiday, first swim, first beach trip, first taste of Grandma Rowland’s scary holiday driving! Still, she took to the disruption to her normal everyday ‘routine’ remarkably well and impressed an elderly lady in a cafe at Portmeirion with the very grown-up way in which she was eating her sandwich. Smug? Me? Never!

Shame it was only a 3-nighter, although any longer and I don’t think the pets would have forgiven us!

If you’re interested, you can see the sights we saw via my dodgy (that’s dodgy as in crap, not dodgy as in pornographic) photos in the Wales set on Flickr.
