"We all enjoyed our short holiday here. Although Oakwood Park and the Brecon Mountain Railway were closed (the first choices for Hannah and Joshua) the children and parents were happy doing our things e.g. a visit to Toys R Us/Plantasia. At Carreg Cennen castle Mum and Daughter did some sketching while Dad and Son did exploring and photo taking. Glad that I brought a 64MB compact flash for my digital camera as I have taken over 100 photos in the last few days. We enjoyed the "half hour" walk around the farm.
