Happy New Year!

This New Year was spent in company with the regular crowd in Wales again. This time we were a little further into the Brecon Beacons just south of a village called Crai (Cray).

Our barn for the week was situated at the Happy Horse Retirement Home. It is a long barn, split into three cottages, Blue Brook - (sleeps 6 and seats 16 for dinner), Red Ridge and Green Gallop both sleep 4 a piece.

The place was rustic and aged, but new and fresh and no expence had been spared in its design and upkeep. It has a river running past it and it is within walking distance of a substantial resevoir.

It is excellent for walkers and is ideal for trips to Brecon and Merthyr for some town life and the Beacons for those that just want to go somewhere quiet and sit. Im not going to prattle on about it. It is wonderful and i fully intend to go back this year to see what it is like in the warm and without the snow!
