Brecon Beacons
We struck lucky with the timing of our Brecon Beacons trip... myself, Peter, Andy, Andy, and Rob arrived the day after the biggest snow dump of the winter. The minor roads were blocked so we walked in from the A470 into Cwm Llych and onto Corn du and Pen-y-fan, and had some wonderful lighting for the first hour or two, after which the mist and light rain set in.
a great day out

Tamworth Snowdome
I went to Tamworth on a work visit this week and had a quick look round the snowdome there. Quite an amazing place actually.
There is a skating rink and quite a long track round the outside, so you can do your moves in the middle away from the fast skaters. There's also a childrens area with sledges and stuff and then a main ski slope which is pretty big as well as a smaller beginners ski slope.
Looks good, but not exactly convenient for us.

Sophie's Art Award
Wow, we were really impressed when Sophie got the school art award this year. I think she was even more suprised when it was anounced in assembly and she had to go up to get it - something she has always dreaded.
She got a good book too..!!
