Yesterday I made my 14th trip to the summit of Snowdon, my second time via the Crib Goch route.. for those not familiar with this route, imagine a near vertical scramble up the side of a mountain, followed by 2 hours across a knife-edged ridge… great fun! We camped overnight at a site in Llanberis and the new tent survived. Tesco burgers and value chicken has never tasted so good. I’m back home safe now despite the gushing torrents of overspilled rivers blocking our every path in North Wales… (that’s sarcasm by the way) and find we are blessed with our next harvest. Thankfully all the radishes are gone, and we have runner beans, dwarf carrots, and peas! More peas should be ready next week along with a couple more carrots, and we’ll be over-run with beans over the next month or two. The sweetcorn is looking a little sadder as I’ve had to prop it up due to all the wind and rain last week, but we have some small cucumbers starting to make an appearance.

It was luck and not judgement that the floods did not affect you. Your sarcasm would not go down too well in parts of mid Wales as well as Worcestershire, Gloucestershire etc!
And another thing ……….
Lets have some photos of your lovely daughter walking her first real steps instead a bunch of less than spectacular vegetables!!!
“we have some small cucumbers starting to make an appearance”
got a bit chilly in wales did we olly?!!!
Oh dear mother-in-law… it appears you have completely misunderstood my sarcasm once again… I was suggesting that it may have been possible that myself and my friends kept a close eye on weather forecast and traffic reports and decided that, as was the case, it was going to be a mild Saturday with occasional drizzle…. I believe the most turbulant conditions we experienced was rather stoned Welshman with a dog called ‘Taf’ (to annoy these Notherners apparantly) asking us if we liked music that goes ‘bunka bunka bunka know what I mean is it?’. By no means was I suggesting ‘ner-ner-na-ner-ner’ to any persons currently submerged.
To Nick (aka anon)… no, you visited.
I was well aware that your sarcasm was aimed as a cheap jibe to those people who were concerned about your welfare! “Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.”
I am content with my position down there….
Oliver – you seem to have seriously miffed your mother-in-law, I think an apology is needed!
Don’t worry Alison. I only do it to wind Oliver up – (he thinks that he is the only wind-up merchant but oh how wrong he can be!!!)
