A slow week in Wales

Hello friends,

I hope this post finds you well and you’re having a joyful month.

At the beginning of May, my partner and I spent a slow and relaxing week in Cardigan Bay, Wales. We stayed in a beautiful octagonal eco-cabin nestled in acres of farmland and woodland. It was a dreamy location.

Our travel highlights included: waking up each day to a field of sheep, rabbits and other friends; walking some of the Ceredigion Coast Path while enjoying the wildflowers and the scent of the common gorse; spending an entire day on the golden sands of Penbryn Beach; celebrating May Day in Aberaeron; exploring the Hay-on-Wye bookshops; discovering the breathtaking Ynys Lochtyn; chips and mushy peas overlooking New Quay harbour; and taking far too many photographs.

Here are a few of my favourites (if you’re reading this letter via email, you’ll find the full post here).
