Lovely Welsh Rain πŸ˜ƒ

β€’44 Replies

I'm sitting in my campervan

The rain is hissing down

We could go out and wander

Around the nearest town

But we are warm and comfy

And have a marvellous view

The females are all sleeping

And I've got lots to do

Tomorrow will be better

And to Barmouth we will go

Then on to old Machynlleth

It's market day you know.

(Midge woke up to pose.πŸ™„)

Hope the sun shines tomorrow don, then you can all tootle off to market. Raining here too, miserable and the town is full of holiday makers. Don't know what s happened to flaming June. Jane

I wish I was there. We have the rain here also, near Clacton, but it is not as refreshing as the Welsh rain. Enjoy yourself.

Midge looks relaxed and seems resigned

to weather that's not awfully kind

With the girls asleep on the back seat

i imagine for you Don it's time to eat

Don't go out now or you'll get wetter

But you always make my days seem better.

You are the Michael Palin of this dodgy lung club site

And your travelogues and pics are always bright.:)

Hope you really enjoy your trip to Wales. Lovely country.

Apparently I learnt to walk on Barmouth beach whilst there on holiday but I have no memory of the occasion.

We are watching the rain through the window in Aberystwyth. So we're not that far from you. Yesterday was ok and we wandered along the prom with me on my scooter .

β€’ in reply toPantani

Tomorrow is supposed to be just showers and Thursday sunny. It’s not stopped today here.

It's only just stopped here. Were out on the Vale of Rheidol railway tomorrow. Our dog Bella seems to love trains.

β€’ in reply toPantani

Good for Bella, Midge isn’t at all keen. Lots hope the sun shines for us. 🌝

That's a great picture Don and very typical of Wales whenever we visit. But between you and me I quite like the odd rainy day when we're away - as in 'oh dear, look it's raining - I'll have to have a quiet day in my cosy camper reading my books and doing my puzzles...'

I hope it clears up for you soon so that you can get out and enjoy the lovely Welsh air.

We'll be off to points north on Sunday for a few weeks, doubtless stopping with the son in Southport en route again. I'm pretty sure that up in Scotland I'll have plenty of opportunities to catch up with my reading! :)

Looks like you are having a good time and the view looks fab, although Midge looks a bit like Sally, what are you doing to them Don ha! Hope the day is brighter for you tomorrow. Manchester has been very wet this afternoon x

β€’ in reply toIzb1

I don’t think Midge would agree with your comment she treats both with disdain having been told to leave them alone. Being a co-pilot πŸ‘©β€βœˆοΈ puts her in a different class.πŸ™„ The forecast is better for the next couple of days.

It’s stunning! I’d love to have a camper van so that me and Sara could take the girls on adventures. We used to go camping but it doesn’t agree with me any more if you know what I mean lol πŸ˜‰

β€’ in reply toBrianTaylor

I know exactly what you mean. I lost my confidence for a while but you lot have helped me get it back.πŸ˜€

It seems so very cosy, warm and comfy inside. Just looking out at the softness of the rain, the greyness of the sky - and the tranquility of the view - who needs the sun Cap'n? Enjoy each day as it comes . . .

Mr Don, Your camper van looks marvelous! Also, all the cute women at your side! Midge looks comfortable, yet very relaxed! But the steering wheel on the camper...is what caught my eyes! I can't imagine driving, clearly way over... on the other side! I don't know how I would handle that.....Oh boy,That was a Great surprize!!! Janet127

β€’ in reply toJANET127

It can be difficult if you drive off sitting on the wrong side. πŸ˜‚

Lovely view Midge looks very cosy on her nice blanket rained here all day got to be better tomorrow. πŸ‘ have a great time. 😊

Oh I know all about sitting in our Motorhome in the rain!! Enjoy the peace and quiet and rest until the sun comes out and you can explore.

β€’ in reply towpw62

My bad legs limit the amount of exploring I can do but my motorhome is small enough to get most places. Unfortunately height barriers seem to be springing up in some my favourite places. Read your good new BTW wonderful!! πŸ‘πŸ˜€

Wednesday morning and the rain has stopped. Bet you have been mushroom picking already Don. When we were kids going to perranporth each year our dad pulled the camper van into a field for the night. We Always woke to the smell of bacon and mushrooms that he had picked earlier. Hope it stays fine for you Don. Jane

β€’ in reply tochubby2x22

Thank you Jane, I used to take the family to Perranporth often, called in a couple of years ago hardly recognised it and they had installed height barriers to keep me off my favourite parking place.

Lovely Don. Many years ago had great weekend in Barmouth as a friend of my husband had a house there overlooking the estuary. It had a fantastic view.Great walking country too. Enjoy yourself with the ladies and Midge.

I can’t walk far now and Barmouth suits me as it’s compact and flat. πŸ˜€

Fingers crossed for better weather Don. I used to go to Barmouth a lot as a child and was only thinking of revisiting it the other day. Midge looks comfy x

β€’ in reply towatergazer

Weathers worse than yesterday, blowing a gale as well as β˜”οΈ. Just makes my campervan feel even more comfy.πŸ˜‰
