We're excited to arrive at our cottage in Dolwyddelan, Wales. Everyone was looking forward to being in one place for a whole week—a place to do laundry, reorganize, and relax.The first two days, we just lay low at the homestead, watching movies, reading books, and walking to town. The kids loved running around the yard—just normal everyday things. Best of all, laundry! We are in desperate need of clean undies and socks.
Our cottage was a very old world. The main living area had exposed beams, thick plaster walls, and a coal stove (which none of us could ever get lit). Just outside our backdoor was a bridge, and under the bridge was a waterfall. Yep, there is a very loud raging stream and mini-waterfall.
We also got our first taste of the land of sheep in Dolwyddelan. Just outside our cottage, there was a field full of them. Sitting on the couch, you could see them peering in at you, baa baa. As you hit the town, you could just walk through another field. The kids were excited to be one with the sheep and would check out the pens daily.
