Arrived home this evening in time to catch a local television programme called"Weatherman Walking" presented by our BBC weather man here in Wales,Derek Brockway.
He has been doing a series of walks around Wales and this evening it was on the Llyn Peninsular,where Alan lives,and took us on a spectacular walk from Aberdaron to Mynydd Mawr,including some glorious views of Bardsey Island.Derek's guide,a local vicar,was most informative and was very enthusiastic about the area.Certainly on my list of holiday destinations next year.

We just caught the end of the programme. Pleased to see him finishing at Mynydd Mawr (the big mountain) at the end of the peninsula.

Our most favourite picnic site in all the world

Alan, you aren't the local Vicar are you.

Glad i asked now.

The photograph was lovely though Alan.

I love Wales. We used to go there on holiday every year as children. I particularly remember a holiday on a farm on the outskirts of Aberdaron. It was brilliant. My sister and I had been playing in the barn and came back into the farm house with loads of biddies in our clothes, my mother made us strip off and get into the bath.

I wish we had been able to watch that programme.

My OH and I have been holidaying in Wales at least once a year for the last few years and love it.

It is on iPlayer if that is any use to you - I have to download then watch as my broadband is so slow.

Dear Catherine, excuse my ignorance but, what are biddies?

OH - I'm glad yoy asked as it has me baffled too - I thought biddies were old women!

Dear Glallotments, so did i, i did type that in reply, but then hurriedly deleted it again.
It just didn't seem a very Gentlemanly thing to say.

HEAD LICE

That's what biddies are

...but Catherine's were probably other various creepies.

Never heard them called that before.

I am sorry that you thought I was talking about head lice. In our family anything that was small and creepy crawly was a biddy. Yes I also had heard that old people are called biddies in some areas. I would not dream of calling anyone elderly a biddy. (Well at least not to their face) These were creepy crawlies from the hay bales. They probably dont have biddies in the hay made now. Alan you made my hair crawl with that picture.

Hi All,

When I was at School We had Nitty Nora the biddy explorer she was the school nurse

Come to think of it, our village is Chwilog which means place infested with creepy-crawlies (honest!)
