Thanks to my birthday landing on Easter Sunday, I got to take some long overdue time off with a long weekend away so we headed for an amazing cottage just outside Newport in Powys and with Dogzilla and the calmer dog in tow to worry some sheep, we walked, read books and watched films, ate well, drank well, mostly avoided the traffic and rain and returned home in a relaxed state of mind. I can highly recommend it. This is the evidence.
