So glad you had a nice time kitty 
I never win anything except, since joining GN, I 've won a picture , tasted chocolate, tested serum, had a steady supply of books both for me and the DGC and had a lovely holiday! 
What a lovely place and great views, kitty. I agree, we've been lucky to have some fantastic prizes
Looks perfect kitty we get some good prizes on GN dont we.
Its hard going back to places that were important in our childhood things always seem to have shrunk and doesn't match up to our memories. 
Just to say a huge thank you to you all for the lovely week's holiday DH and I just spent in North Wales.
Some of you will remember that I won a holiday with Sykes Cottages here on GN.
DH and I came back yesterday after a fabulous week in a cottage which overlooked the Menai Straits and, despite the fact that I don't do self-catering 
, it was fantastic!
I had lived in North Wales when I was a child, in fact two of my brothers were born there, but had never had the chance to look around properly as whenever we had been previously we had children with us . We saw all the sights including Beaumaris (loved it), Bodnant Gardens (fabulous), Penrhyn Castle (strange) and the Ffestiniog Railway (not as good as I remembered especially the man leaping all over the carriage taking photos 
)
We went to see the hotel my parents owned and wished we hadn't. It has shrunk and looked really rundown .
Luckily, we were within striking distance of Waitrose so the self-catering thing was easily solved.
Again, thank you so much GN - it was great!
