Thumbs up cold turkey! hillyjo's trip to kilverts

hey folks thought i'd do a little trip report of my recent stay at ed.kilverts after saying my last goodbyes to everyone at wiitalk we set the tom tom and left for kilverts at around 9.30 am

after having a great board meet and meeting ed on the saturday my nervousness had vannished most people on the meet will (hopefully) agree with me when i say how well behaved zach was on saturday that was all about to change

zach screemed for about a third of the way and was only quiet when sleeping! after a few minor tom tom miss directions we arrived at our destination


we were very early but mrs ed and mommy ed let us check in right away and gave us a free upgrade to a 2 bed suite with a very comfy looking bed in there


happydays (or so we thought)


it had now been about four hours with out internet and the shakes were starting to take my mind off things we had a walk around the many bookshops in town


above is hay castle home of the honesty book shop which is unstaffed and you are trusted to leave the money in the hole provided (if only everywhere could be this trusting)

eds restaurant was a little busy and with zach in a foul mood we decided to eat somewhere a little quieter (which was okay) back at the room and zachs bedtime he would not go to sleep!!!! and was generaly being very naughty (not realy like him ) finaly about 10.30 he nodded off

monday morning was started with a kilverts full english english breakfast (a perfect start to the day) then a trip to cardiff bay which was nice (nearly had dinner in wagamamas there) then a stop off in brecon on the way back

zach invading wales

daddys little angel

stunning scenery

hilly after a kilverts brekkie


a great day out then back to the hotel! had lovely meal ed's nans steak and kidney pudding then i said i'd look after zach while jo had five on her own in room! oh my god terror kid strikes again took my pint of award winning ale outside where zach ran riot so back to the room for more sleepless nights

tuesday was a trip to the petting farm

mr pig

zach and the lamas


zach was finaly worn out and my cold turkey was going well untill i bumped into ed in his office! the temptation was too great and we logged on to wiitalk unfortunatley there were prying eyes and we nearly got caught red handed so still no wiitalk for hilly

with zach a sleep i spent the evening with ed sampling his award winning ales (which i'll mention elsewhere later) and having a good chin wag he's a great bloke may i add with some great locals in his pub! the next morning it was time for home zach was finaly settled (and had a bit of a crush on a certain mrs ed ) and we had to leave had brekkie and set the dreaded tom tom and finaly got my wiitalk fix!

thanks for reading and hope i made sense it was a great break highly recomended (leave the kids at home) thanks to ed and family for having us

just had to edit out all the smileys so might make even less sense!

What a beautiful building. We just don't get that type of archetecture here in the U.S., which is one of the big reasons I want to head across the pond sometime. England and Japan are two of my favorite ancient building sites.

Looks like many of you are meeting up these days. I'd imagine this won't be the last trip to ed's place for wiitalkers.

Wow, great Report, Hilly - rep o the way!

Makes me really wish I could go visit Kilverts now!

@Sherlock - so long as you aren't interested in old Catholic churches, you'll love it here! Makes me laugh when foreign tourists ask where the nearest Catholic Church is and we have to explain that they were all destroyed by King 'Enry! (There are Catholic Churches around but they are all quite new and very boring in comparison with the old Anglican churches)

LOL @ the free bookshop...Sounds weird to me. There is no legally biding contract which means an individual can't just walk out the door with hundreds of books paying 5p for them all?

That's village life for you!

Yea, I know about that. Something I learned in my Catholic schooling stateside. Don't worry, that sort of thing doesn't interest me any longer.

I'm looking more for castles and the older buildings.

there is a price plan ed 30p for a paper back 50p for a hard back (should have said they are all second hand books) i think it's a great idea though sherlock theres lots of great architecture there! can't believe the amount of castles between hay and cardiff pity we didn't have a little more time there!
