Wales Weekend @ Llandovery

Well what can i say.....it was wet!!

But all said and done we all had a good few days away and enjoyed the beautiful countryside of Llandovery in Carmarthanshire.

Although the 3 days of showing between us happy campers sadly only saw 1 good result ( Gill and Dave Chandler's Maud got first in her class..well done Maudy!!) the rest of the time we made the most of the bad weather, some lovely home cooked breakfasts , dinners and barbecues and games in Steve and Bev's Awning...thanks to you both for keeping us all dry.

Before we all made our way back home we had a lovely day out at the coast, local fish and chips were nice and seeing the dolphins at New Quay was great ending with a nice play for the dogs on the beach (apart from our Lulu who decided to go for a little walk of her own..naughty girl!!)

The site was ok, good dog walking area all enclosed, nice little town with a cheap Somerfields, handy for our provisions. Sadly the amenities could have been a little better but we made the best of what was avaliable, they did the job.

Well i hope those that were there enjoyed themselves, we did, as it was nice to get away no matter what the weather throwed at us and it was lovely to see everyone helping each other out when it was needed.

Many many thanks to Steve & Beverley for the use of your van to get our caravan there......

The Happy Campers...... Sue (GSD's), Jane and Brian( Newfies), Steve & Beverley (GSP's) Paul and Yvonne, Hayley (Bulldogs), Donna & Tegan ( Mexican Hairless), Vanessa & Allan ( Shiba Inu and Labrador), Tanya ( Leonberger) and Gill & Dave (Shar-Pei)
