I guess it&#8217;s good that I&#8217;m still here 1 year later, but celebrating the actual event seems a little weird. It has of course changed almost everything for me but I&#8217;ve been recovering and have slowly getting back to doing the things I always did previously. So, to mark the 1 year anniversary Anna and I decided to have a nice meal out and a night away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn&#8217;t go far, just a short 45 minute drive to the Cross Foxes near Dolgellau. Anna was playing in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aberystwythsilverband.co.uk\/cms\/\">Aberystwyth Silver Band<\/a> at the Aberystwyth Show on Saturday. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Aber-Show.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Aber-Show.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Aber-Show.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Aber-Show-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Aberystwyth Show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I had planned to go windsurfing while she was doing that, but the fact that I&#8217;d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2022\/06\/another-day-in-ae\/\">ended up in A&amp;E<\/a> earlier in the week meant that I thought better of it. Instead I had a chilled day at home and did some cleaning, tidying and gardening. Once Anna was home we headed off in the car to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossfoxes.co.uk\/\">Cross Foxes<\/a>. We checked in and headed to our room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oooh, Posh!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As it was a bit of a last minute decision there weren&#8217;t any &#8216;rooms&#8217; available when I made the booking. There was a suite though called Cadair, so I&#8217;d booked that. This meant we were treating to a larger, more upmarket room than usual. It was very nice too with a huge bed and a massive sofa too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular has-rounded-corners-10\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.05312%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bed.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bed.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w\" alt=\"Large Bed\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"37702\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=37702\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bed.jpg\" data-width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Bed.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:63.94688%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/suite.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/suite.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/suite.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/suite.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=950&#038;ssl=1 950w\" alt=\"Suite with large sofa\" data-height=\"713\" data-id=\"37703\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=37703\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/suite.jpg\" data-width=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/suite.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dinner wasn&#8217;t until 7:30pm so we headed out for a little stroll.

Steak and Ale pie for Anna, Lamb burger for me, followed of course by a dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was then able to watch the Grand Prix qualifying from the comfort of a sofa whilst sat under the moon! OK, it&#8217;s actually the lampshade but I couldn&#8217;t resist a photo of it anyway as it was supposed to look a little moonlike.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lampshade.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lampshade.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lampshade.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/lampshade-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Moon?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Running in the hills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a comfortable nights sleep I headed out for an early morning jog. I was aiming for the summit of Cribyn Fawr. Not for any reason in particular but it would have been nice to have bagged the summit on https:\/\/summitbag.com\/. However, after about 40 minutes of jogging and walking up the hill it was clear that the summit was still a little way off. Anna would be wondering where I was so I turned back and jogged back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular has-rounded-corners-10\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:63.95572%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Running-in-the-hills.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Running-in-the-hills.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Running-in-the-hills.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Running-in-the-hills.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=950&#038;ssl=1 950w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"713\" data-id=\"37706\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=37706\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Running-in-the-hills.jpg\" data-width=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Running-in-the-hills.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.04428%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/In-the-hills.jpg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/In-the-hills.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/In-the-hills.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=650&#038;ssl=1 650w\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"867\" data-id=\"37707\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=37707\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/In-the-hills.jpg\" data-width=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/In-the-hills.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class='strava-embed-placeholder' data-embed-type='activity' data-embed-id='7294589972'><\/div><script src='https:\/\/strava-embeds.com\/embed.js'><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>It was nice to be out in the hills on my own though, even if I didn&#8217;t quite make the summit.

That&#8217;s the fourth I&#8217;ve heard in different places this year, including one at home in Ynyslas. It must be a good year for cuckoos. Back at the hotel the front door was locked so I had to get Anna to let me in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Torrent Walk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a hearty breakfast and plenty of coffee we drove the short distance to Brithdir and headed out for a stroll around the Torrent Walk. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/breakfast.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/breakfast.jpg\" alt=\"Breakfast Choices\" class=\"wp-image-37708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/breakfast.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/breakfast-150x200.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Breakfast Choices<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Torrent Walk follows a gorge down one side of the Clywedog River through some impressive trees into a tiny little hamlet with a few lovely cottages.
