I hope you've all had a lovely weekend.
Today mummy, daddy, all three of my grandparents and I went for a ride on the Ffestiniog Railway (Rheilffordd Ffestiniog)- I'm trying to learn a bit of Welsh- Rheilffordd means rail road or railway.
We experienced amazing views and all of the staff and volunteers were so cheerful and welcoming which made the day even better- even if the weather wasn't perfect.
We ha a return journey from Porthmadog all the way to the end at Blaenau Ffestiniog.
It's amazing how two places can be so different; Porthmadog is a small town with lots of open views and greenary and Blaenau Ffestiniog is where there were lots of slate mines (and still some remain to this day) and is much smaller with towering slate mountains.
It is all very beautiful though and very different from anything I would see back home in England.
I'm having such a lovely time in Wales. I'm here until Saturday so I'll let you know what else I get up to.

Speak to you
Lots of love
