Wow! I haven’t managed to visit Portmeirion yet but have always been intrigued (and have bought their pottery). Thanks for the reminder, Sarah and I hope you’re feeling better.

Portmeirion – a favourite place since childhood. And just this weekend they had the annual Festival Number Six. That, by the looks, would be something to go to: http://festivalnumber6.com/
