My name is Jack..

and apparently I live in the back of the Greta Garbo Home... which may or may not please my young friend at Iconista.... but there we go. suffice it to say, the Beards are back from their annual jolly to North wales.. Beard and beard junior, a caravan, mountains, sea and caves... a trip to the zoo, and a trip to the emerald isle by large canoe... well.. HSS ferry anyway... and very enjoyable too, though the first sight of european money had the younger of the pair muttering about toy money... but the sights of Dublin appeased him somewhat... but unfortunately the crossing was dolphinless.... however, we did experience the loneliness of Dolbadarn in the twilight, and saw the beautiful underground lake of Llechwedd, where a fellow visitor was astounded that a place like that actually had taxis.... which made several eyes cast towards the ceilings.... and our annual pilgrimage to the top of foel Fras took advantage of the second least rainy day of the week... I can also report with glee that petes eats in Llanberis hasn't changed at all.... but my brain is still slightly addled, and bed beckons.. until we all reach our summits, Wisebeard salutes you......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
