More questions than answers

Last weekend I decided I would have a day of complete rest and relaxation. What did you do, I hear some of you ask, did you go to a spa for some pampering or spend the day having a bit of retail therapy? No, I decided to try and uncover a little bit more of Plas y Nant's history.

It's a small world

A few weeks ago I was chatting with someone who couldn't see the point of this blog and blogs in general. Occasionally they would read a few of my posts but couldn't understand why I wanted to tell people what was going on up at Plas y Nant and didn't think that people would be interested in knowing. However, I decided to persevere as I had received positive comments and e-mails and I am of the belief that you can't please everybody all the time.

The problem with having a butterfly mind

From the day we heard our planning application was finally approved my life has been hurtling along in a bit of a blur with so many decisions to make that I haven't been able to update this blog or even get on Twitter! However, I've decided to take time out, make a panad and firstly thank all the people who have posted comments and sent e-mails, your support and interest in the redevelopment of Plas y Nant is very much appreciated. Secondly, I thought it was about time I gave you a quick update on where we're at and what we're doing.

I'm going to pick more daisies

Whilst catching up with the latest happenings on Twitter this morning I read a tweet from one of my 'imaginary friends' about her Gran's birthday which got me thinking about both my Grandmothers, but my maternal Grandmother in particular who we called Nanan.

Never underestimate the power of the Plasites!

Once I returned to my desk after our wander round the grounds I realised from the e-mails that started arriving that a few of you were interested in finding out more about our railway Halt. You are probably gathering now from my posts that it doesn't take much to distract me from whatever I'm meant to be doing and so I did a quick search on Google and found a few references to the Plas y Nant Halt. As I've mentioned previously, I don't know how I'd cope without Google for finding things out, "I'll Google it" has become my catchphrase. In fact I think I might hire myself out as a researcher, if any of you want to know anything about absolutely anything just let me know and I'll Google it for you! Anyway, here I am getting distracted now about Google and not getting to the point of this post.
