Friday 11th August 2023, My husband and I were up at the crack of dawn and we packed a case for a two night stay, had breakfast and then put our case into the care and started our journey to North Wales. The day was warm but very humid as we drove through Bala and up to Llangollen and then through the mountain roads to Porthmadog. After visiting our friend who is terminally ill and at end of life care, we then drove up to the pretty village of Beddegelet, which has a wonderful river flowing through the village. We found a parking space and collected our case out of the car and walked just the few yards down the street to our guest house. We arrived at ‘Plas Tan Y Graig’ Guest House where we were booked in for two night’s bed and breakfast around 5.30pm. We were greeted by Annette and was given a very warm welcome. We were then shown to our room, which was ‘Room No 2’. It was a nice deluxe double room that overlooked the front of the house and had a wonderful view of the river flowing past, and was full of late afternoon sunshine. The furnishings were of pale grey painted wood in keeping with the age of the building. The bedroom was of reasonable size and the décor was done out in a light creamy beige stone coloured walls with a brownie grey ‘flower’ feature wall behind the bed. There was also some very nice artwork on the walls. We had a large double bed with white cotton sheets and duvet with a grey bed cover and soft grey and black, white and grey ‘geometric’ cushions. There was a fridge, on top of which was a tray with a kettle, bottled still water, and a nice selection of drinks i.e. tea, coffee, sugar and complimentary biscuits and chocolates. We had a fully tiled en-suite shower room, which had lovely piping hot water, and soft fluffy towels and complimentary toiletries. It was completely done out in white tiles with a bright ‘Patterned’ tile set in at random intervals and had silver bathroom fittings. In the evening we went for dinner at a local bistro, and the my husband and I then walked back to our guest house and we both went back to our room, where we snuggled up in our double bed like a pair of sleepy kittens and went fast asleep, we both had a good night’s sleep as the bed was so comfortable. Saturday 12th August 2023, My husband and I awoke bright and refreshed. It was raining heavily; it was if the heavens were crying for Malcolm, it continued that way for most of the day. I had a nice ‘hot’ shower and a cup of coffee in bed. We then dressed and went down to breakfast in the lovely breakfast room which overlooked the river. My husband had the full Welsh breakfast and I had a banana and yoghurt followed by a toasted bacon and egg sandwich with brown sauce, which set us up for the day. The breakfast was served by Mark, who was very friendly and knowledgeable We went back to our room before going out. Whilst I was sitting in a chair overlooking the river inspiration came and I wrote two poems ‘Road Trip of Life’ – a re
