Journey Through Wales

Things may seem a bit disjointed at the start here as I try to add things to this blog that I want here. They may not appear in order until I start coming here full time, but for now, I thought I would add a photo-blog of my recent trip to Wales. This trip meant the world to me, so it will appear here often and in many forms.


This entry will simply be one picture representing each day of my journey.
18 October 2009 - 25 October 2009




Photos Descriptions:
1. This is Bob, my traveling companion, all ready to go with his bags and his passport.
2. The first place I stayed at, The Totters Independent Hostel, a beautiful place where I would stay again.
3. Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfon
4. Snowdon Mountain from the pass of Llanberis. This is from a small street behind the railway adjacent to the Afon Hwch.
5. Dolwyddelan Castle, the ONE place that I wanted to visit.
6. Valle Crucis Abbey, Llangollen
7. The coffin of Llywelyn Fawr, located in the chapel of the church of St. Grwst in Llanrwst.
8. A magnet that I picked up while I was there. It is actually true, that even with the driving (yes, I did, and you'll hear more about that), it was still a place where stress seemed far away and paradise at your fingertips.

Welcome and an Introduction

I'm still experimenting here. This is obviously my first post. This is all new to me. Well, not all. I have a livejournal. I've decided that some things should be here, and try to get a place to say what I need to say, so it seems that this will be here. We'll see how that goes.

Welcome.
As it says on the sidebar, I am a parent, teacher, writer and friend. That pretty much sums it up.
Ceirdwenfc is my online name and the only one that I give out. Cfc is a nickname given to me by a dear friend, and has stuck for both online and real life use. I'm very fond of it. :-)

I spend most of my online life in the Harry Potter fandom, but have expanded to many other aspects, learning new things about my friends, traveling to new places, both emotionally and physically, and trying to be a better, and more professional writer. I will try to update my profile to reflect my interests sometime in the coming weekend, but know that this is a place for my opinion, and while I like a good debate/discussion, I also like respect. I will try to respect your view and you will respect mine or you know, that's what the back button is for. My views on issues/politics will no doubt come out over time, sometimes with the delicacy of an opening flower petal, sometimes like a sledgehammer. You should be able to tell the difference.

I expect this blog to evolve.

Any suggestions are always welcome. Currently, my comments are open to all, and unmoderated.

A note about copyright. This statement will also evolve, but as of this printing everything (text, photos, artwork (as owner or copyright reassigned) appearing on this journal/blog is copyrighted to me, using the psudonym, ceirdwenfc or cfc, in the year it is published (posted). I retain all rights unless I choose to give them away by signed document, and those will be noted on individual posts.

Thank you for reading, and welcome.
