    So you still have the co in Wales?
    No mate sold my shares in October last year and walked away.

    Took a massive loss to be honest but my Mrs is so involved in Yorkshire now we couldn't go back.

    This has turned out for the best for me to be honest. I will never tell her she was right though.

    No mate I met her in Powys. However she is an English girl. She just didn't want to go back. She is school governor for local district amongst other things.

    Things are coming right now for us. To be honest. Moved Dad over after Mum passed and he works for me now.

    I lived in Powys for a few years!

    Didn't take any notice of Elan Valley when I lived there, but went back for a weekend a couple of years ago and it is truly breathtaking. Some of the best scenery in the world.

    It was a driving weekend so the car found its way into most pics. Have 100's more but need to get to bed so these are just some randoms where the car doesn't completely block the view!

    Cracking Biking roads, but equally dangerous for the barry sheene's of this world, know your limitations, great when the roads are seemingly quiet. but you just never know what might be around the next bend livestock in the road, tractors etc

    Most of it is virtually on my doorstep.

    The child labour isn't an issue, but looks like you'll have to keep a close eye on them for underage drinking

    No chance in a million years I could get my kids to do that! Especially the daughter with her inch long nails that cost her entire Saturday job wage!

    I have a 20 year old who's exactly the same and that's why she isn't in the shot lol.

    My middle daughter is a bit quiet never leaves the house. Though herself Japanese on an app so she can watch anime in Japanese. Draws bonsai trees and koi fish constantly. Keen to learn more about fish this year which is great. The youngest is a dancer and fully qualified NISA figure skater. Never at home. All raised the same all completely different.
