Wonderful North Wales escape
A hugely enjoyable and rewarding housesit. The train journey getting to Portmadoc was so picturesque, then an equally charming bus ride to the village itself. The house is a treat, bijou with astonishing views at the front and a delightful wild garden to the rear that attracts all manner of bees and birds. It is steep mind so those with mobility issues will struggle. My host was very kind and we chatted on WhatsApp before I arrived so I could see how it was at his place. He also sourced a bicycle for me and this was so useful to get to the local shop. There were myriad books in the house with a bias towards Russian literature. WiFi was good and worked best downstairs. The cats Pavlova and the Mad Catter were great. Pavlova was affectionate and followed me around all the time. MC more independent. Both esurient of course! I was so fortunate with the weather: it was glorious. I had plenty of walks nearby, for example there's a retired slate mine about one mile up the road which is fascinating and beautiful. Finally I took the bus to Portmeirion about a 45 minute ride plus 20 minute walk. If you are from overseas and don't know about this amazing Italianate caprice then read up on it and know that you can get there easily from here. A super housesit, I was very lucky to be chosen! :))

Mr Dylan Thomas in Talysarn, North Wales
Dylan was a perfect gentleman, picking me up from the bus station, carrying my bag, and take me to his lovely clean and tidy home. He gave me clear instructions and directions prior to and during the housesit. He also put me in contact with his parents in NZ, in case he is not contactable. Princess Toffee and Cutter, (did I spell that right?), were great and easy to look after and very affectionate too. Talysarn, not far from Mount Snowdon is a great area for long walks, one of which is the Slate Trail. And historical towns like Caenarfan, and Porthmadog. Perfect homeowner, lovely cats, lovely cosy home. It was a pleasure to be there.
