Enough is enough...
Life... is pretty unpredictable thing, isn't it?
Well, for the last couple of weeks - my real life has managed to catch up with me and sort of dragged me down... I usually am not a self-pitying kind of person, but here and there I have a hard time coping with everything that life throws at me.
For the past two weeks people around me haven't noticed that. I can be a pretty good actor if I want to.
But the decision has been made. Enough is enough!It's time to be a DRAGON again!

Holiday 2016 ~ Aberystwyth
Coming to Aberystwyth we figured out that our accommodation was not really IN Aberystwyth. We came to the town in the afternoon it was obvious to us that we came in time of rush hour (depending on one's perspective).
I was a bit surprised that the road which lead us out of the town went up on the hill with 11% slope. Not that we are not accustomed by that kind of the slope, but to be honest - it was the first one which we encountered - basically in the middle of the town. But was was even more amazing, was that the road which we should have been taken split into two, with the one that went from 11% slope to 15%. Luckily OH didn't notice that he should have taken that one, but nevertheless, we found our way out.
Finding our guest house we checked in and decided to went back to Aberystwyth as Patrik run out of his nectarines and that was just something it wasn't vise to be without. So we went back, looking for a shop and got what we needed - for a state of 'emergency'. Better to be safe than sorry.
So we were returning back to our guest house and unfortunately I forgot to turn off the navigation. Of course the second time OH realised that he took the 'wrong' turn the first time and this time he took the road with 15% slope. Ummmm... it was a bit of an anxious time... to be honest.
With not much speed - remember the rush hour - and with a car ahead of us and behind us, OH was brave enough that he shifted into second gear. Ouch... I had a feeling that we were close to going backwards than forwards. The feeling that even our car wanted to ask OH if he bought his wisdom on a garage sale was very much present. Of course I was rather silent, not to scare the children.
Rather quickly my OH realised his mistake and shifted back to the first gear and somehow slowly we managed to get up the hill and out of the town for the second time.
Close to dinner time we were looking for a pub where we could get something to eat. Well, we could get something at the guest house, but we decided that it was not the time to get back in yet, so we drove until we got to Borth.
Although the weather through the day was more or less completely cloudy, in Borth the scenery completely shifted. But you can see this with your own eyes.
I didn't want to leave...

Holiday 2016 ~ Going to the North
The next day, after we left the friendly
There is just something with Gothic architecture that draws me in like a moth to a flame. I cannot help it but to admire those magnificent buildings and the people from the past that had built them. What achievements with every single structure that still stands and defies the time.
Leaving St Davids we followed the road and as usual when we thought we were in our car for too long, we made a stop. Unfortunately I haven't remembered the name, but as it was already close to lunch time, we combined the stop with the break on the beach
The only brave one in the water...
and a playground.
While Patrik played there I met a nice lady and we started to chat. Well, I think I don't need to tell you that my OH was not surprised seeing me talking with the people. I always do that. If people approach me I have no trouble with the conversation.
The one thing I'm not going to forget was a poor waiter in a pub for whom I had a feeling that he would rather leave the premises than to serve us. He looked so scared and till this day I have no idea why.
Nevertheless it was an interesting experience and we drove forwards, making our next stop at Cilgerran Castle, where of course we had to take our pictures with the straw knight.
After that the OH had decided had seen enough for a one morning. As Patrik is an early riser, we were usually first in the line for our breakfast, so the decision was mutual that we continue our journey onto Aberystwyth.
I'm sure I don't need to explain how much trouble I had just to say the name of the city...

Holiday 2016 ~ Research at Pembroke
Coming to Pembroke was as much exciting as it was a bit scary.
We came into town and suddenly I had that vision - I was here before! And I blurted that out loud too. My OH looked at me like I'm going crazy. Even the kids went silent on the back seat. It was our first time in Wales, let alone in Pembroke. How on earth could I have been in Pembroke before. Yet, I was familiar with the streets, and everything that was there. I KNEW THE TOWN!
And then it hit me just like the idea that I was in Pembroke before. Well, I was. Several times before. Sort of.
When I do research for my novels, I mostly use Google Earth. And 'traveling' with it. I visited Pembroke and gosh, it really gives you the feeling you were there in person.
Finding the
Part of my WIP is set in Pembroke and its castle. I just had to see the whole thing with my own eyes. Walking through its premises with my own pace. OH knew that and they left me on my own. Loris walked with me for some time, but at the end even she gave up and joined him and her brother.
I took my time and totally explored it. I was... everywhere.
At least everywhere I was allowed to go.
Yes that's me on the top of the Twin-Towered Gatehouse. It was in my greatest interest. OH took my photo from below while I was up there taking it all in. It was important I memorised everything around me.
While walking all the stairs and all the towers, the Great Keep, the rooms and the halls, the hallways and of course the inner yard, I completely forgot about the time. Until I saw my two men patiently waiting for me down below in the cafe.
Only then I looked at the time and realised... it was time to go. The hour was late and we had spent more than four hours there. Neither of them gave me the hard time because of that. They knew it was important for me and for my novel. It hit me right then - on the top of the Twin-Towered Gatehouse - I truly have an amazing family.
