From Emerson College about North Wales

Ok wow, its been ages since my last update, I'll try to start from back there. The rain eased slightly for an hour or 2, although the wind kept blowing as cold as ever. But at least with less rain I could have a look at Caernarfon Castle, the views from the top of the towers were absolutely incredible, out across the water to the Isle of Anglesey, the mountains in the other direction, and down below in the immediate vicinity a birdseye view of the city. The staircases up to inside of the towers were so narrow, dark and steep, it was actually a bit frightening. but on the whole, an amazing place! After that the rain kicked again, I'm told the Snowdonia Natioonal Park is the wettest place in Britain so it makes sense that there was a lot of rain. I decided that rather than go for a bushwalk and wet and cold I'd get on a bus and just enjoy the beautiful scenery from the warmth of the bus. It is incredible that around every corner there was another extremely beautiful place, gorgeous lakes, mountains, farmhouses, train stations, villages, wildflowers, waterfalls and even the sheep, you know how our farmers in Australia cut the tails off their sheep, British farmers don't so all the sheep have really long tails, its quite strange to see really. I went to a little Village known as the prettiest in Wales called Beddgelert, I can understand how it gained that fame, it is just gorgeous, so many beautiful little places and I got the feeling it was really old and it had a lovely quiet atmosphere. There was a gorgeous little bridge, complete with old fashioned lamposts and hanging baskets of flowers, and even more gorgeous river flowing below, rushing over rocks making that amazing sound of flowing water which I think we are really lacking in Australia with all these droughts.
This week I'm at Emerson College doing a course on Anthroposophic and Herbal Medicine, it is all very interesting but I'm afraid I need to go back to class now, so I'll try and get another chance today on the computer to give you a little bit about my brief experiece of less than 24 hours in Shakespeare's home town of Stratford-upon-Avon and also how this course is going!!!
Lots of Love to All!!! xox
