00:28and this is us here just arriving into wales always like to get a wee picture of the sign
00:33if i can so on monday we were out and about and we arrived quite late on monday actually
00:39so this place is just you know what you're getting you know it's a sort of american
00:43diner type place they do pizza and pasta and grills and all that kind of thing so i decided
00:50to have the peri peri chicken tacos i've never had them before but i thought they sounded lovely
00:55mr what's for tea just had a pizza very basic so he had the ham and pineapple pizza or hawaiian
01:03pizza a side of fries and these were my peri peri chicken tacos like i said i have never had
01:10a taco before but i really like these i loved the sort of crunchy shell with a lovely soft squishy
01:17filling so i will be looking out for those again in future the accommodation we were staying in
01:23i had the same breakfast every morning so i wouldn't bother showing you this again
01:27but it's just a lovely fresh fruit salad and yogurt it was boiling down there it was about 80 odd
01:33degrees and it was really really fierce heat so that was lovely in the morning then moving on to
01:39tuesday we went to wildwood this is always very very busy and they do sort of pizza pasta that type
01:46of

01:50to see
01:51the actual menu and what the prices are what else you can get you know if you were deciding to
01:57go

02:29we got that again we did come back here and we got this garlic bread again it was just beautiful
02:34it is
02:34obviously homemade so it was delicious and then moving on to wednesday we went to a place called the
02:40abode and this was actually a recommendation from the folk that run the accommodation we were staying
02:46in i think there are friends of the owners of the place that we were staying in and it was
02:51really nice
02:51very laid back sort of traditional pub grub type of stuff you know it had a bar and a restaurant
02:57it was
02:57really really nice just proper home-cooked food so mr what's for tea had the steak and ale pie came
03:04with
03:04mashed potato greens parsnip and carrots and the most amazing red wine gravy i had the fish and chips and
03:12would you look at this this is crazy this was beautiful so it's fresh beer battered fish homemade
03:18chips and then some mushy peas and homemade tartar sauce as well with a wee lemon wedge and they put
03:26some
03:26sea salt on top of that fish the batter on that was lovely it was so light and then wednesday

03:33actually the solar eclipse so i did try to get a picture we were on this big wheel on the
03:39pier so i
03:39tried to get a picture of the solar eclipse so i did manage to get quite a decent picture of
03:45the
03:45partial so i will show you that in a wee second but this is the view here of hollanded note
03:50where we
03:50were this is the kind of promenade where lots of people end up at night and there's a lovely big
03:56pier
03:56with traditional amusement you know amusement arcades and shops and stalls and that kind of thing it just
04:02hasn't changed for so many years which i reckon is why it's so busy and so popular especially in the
04:09summer and this was my this was my picture of the partial solar eclipse so yeah super chuffed to have
04:16gotten that so that was wednesday night and then on the thursday we went back to wildwood just because
04:21we loved it so much there's lots of things on there we want to try as well so mr what's
04:26for tea
04:26got a pizza and i got the chicken milanese so he got the pizza but instead of his usual hawaiian
04:32he got just a mushroom pizza and he also had a side of fries which came just after this wee
04:39clip here
04:39and then also the garlic bread again just because it was so amazing and this was my chicken milanese
04:46here so it's just spaghetti with a rich tomato sauce mixed through the spaghetti a breaded chicken breast on
04:52the top some more marinara sauce and then some melted mozzarella with a wee bit of basil and i thoroughly
04:58enjoyed that that chicken was amazing and then moving on to friday we went back to the abode just
05:05because mr what's for tea loved the pie from you know a couple of nights previous and i loved the
05:12pie
05:12as well i tried a wee bit of his so we both decided just to get the pie i know
05:17we are so boring
05:18and london you know it's full of places to eat there are dozens and dozens and dozens
05:23of places you can go but we tend to you know when we find somewhere we like we just tend
05:29to go back
05:30and more often than not we'll just order the same thing if we've really enjoyed something so just the
05:35steak and ale pie the creamy mashed potato that beautiful red wine gravy and that's kale sugar snap
05:42peas carrot and parsnip and this was us on the way back and again i like to just try and
05:48get the
05:48welcome to scotland sign if i can and if i do remember so when we get back on saturday or
05:55yesterday
05:55we were absolutely knackered it's about an eight hour drive you know because we do stop a couple of
06:01times for a coffee and a loo break so it was about eight hours so we're in the car quite
06:06a long time
06:07so i raided the freezer and we had some leftover chicken curry so i just quickly defrosted this
06:13and i mixed some white and whole grain rice together and we just had this so nice and quick
06:18and easy but like i said we were both so tired and mr what's for tea actually just had chips
06:24with his
06:24i had the rice and then moving on to today we still haven't been shopping yet so i did have
06:30corned
06:31beef potatoes cheese and onions and butter and all that sort of stuff so i just decided
06:36to make a corned beef hash and then some baked beans on the side because i've got tons of baked
06:41beans there
06:42so it's a good way of using those up as well like i said we still haven't been shopping yet
06:47we've just
06:47been absolutely knackered it sounds daft doesn't it sitting in the car tires you out but it really does
06:53and i find the older you get the tireder you become so that was nice and quick and easy and
06:59still
06:59really tasty as well it doesn't have to be complicated to be tasty well in my opinion
07:05anyway so that was everything that we had this week including our wee meals and whales as well
07:11which we thoroughly enjoyed i mean we love north wales and in chlandino in particular we just find
07:18you know absolutely amazing it's just one of these places that doesn't feel as though it's been touched
