Travel Tuesday Flashback - Rural Wales

So with the little man growing up in front of our eyes I have been looking back on various photo albums of late and came across our first ever short break away with the little man who was around 6 months at the time. We didn't venture too far, to a small rural Welsh Village on the edge of the Brecon Beacons in Mid Wales. We hired a lovely and fairly basic small two room cottage on a farm, surrounded by nature, walks and best of all no Wifi - it was bliss.

 We spent the four days exploring the local town - Llandeilo - with it's lovely little boutique shops, beautiful church and small winding roads. We enjoyed the local food, as well as taking advantage of that fact we where self-contained. Over those days we enjoyed many a cream tea as well as a glass of wine in front of the wood stone burner while listening to music.

One of our highlights was visiting Carrge Cennen Castle, which I have to say is one of the best castles in Wales for views, placed high on a hill, you sort of scramble up in a way you don't often see nowadays with health and safety and explore the ruins at your own pace. There is also a charming and rustic cafe at the base of the hill, looking up towards the Castle.

Having Mr A with us was a breeze, he loved every minute of it, especially being suited up in his all weather Daddy baby carrier. It has been to date one of our most stress-free breaks, mainly down to the simplicity of it. We didn't rush around from place to place but instead just enjoyed our surroundings and spending time with each other.
