visiting nearby cities like Swansea for the beach. This has been
a perfect week and its so sad having to let go and going back home.

again. Thank you for everything" Gurj from Coventry

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.

a bit longer with the kids I think that Joshie knows the way as
well as Holly now" Andrew, Theresa, Hannah and Joshua, Keinton
