Apologies to SDQ and Yorkie, because I took a day off from Scrabble.... err I mean work!!.... today, and set off to discover those lakes I keep reading about on here.
Set off to Llanrwst to the ivy covered 'house on the bridge', for the famous Welsh Rarebit, but despite a sign saying open 7 days a week until October.... it was disappointingly closed on Monday.
Had a nice lunch in Trefriw at the Fairy Falls pub instead, then followed the signs up to Lake Crafnant.
It was a perfectly still day, not even a bird singing. Perhaps they have all migrated?
We took the 5km walk (3 hours it said) around the lake... and it was blissful.
I took a couple of pictures on the iphone only, but hopefully someone can identify the very pretty 'spherical' blue flower in the 2nd picture.
Picture 1 is from the start of the walk. (Bald Yorkshireman still feeling energetic), picture 3 is from close to the end of the walk, looking across to the picturesque cafe on the water's edge.
Enjoying these days off!
