October 2019
We had a few fun things planned for my birthday month, starting with a visit from my brother who lives in Cambridge. We had great fun showing him around Cardiff, and took him to one of our favourite little restaurants for lunch, Madame Fromage. There we introduced him to the gloriousness that is Welsh Rarebit - like a toasted sandwich but better, and made with beer.
Of course, there's always room for dinner! Especially when it's ravioli with burnt butter sage sauce! What's the picture below then, you ask? The aperitif of course!
In the morning, we popped into our favourite local cafe Brod, to fortify ourselves before venturing into the Brecon Beacons for some more sightseeing.
Although we knew Brecon town was an awesome location, it was a very long daytrip, and the weather wasn't playing ball. We decided to take a shorter trip just to the edge of the Brecons, for a nice little hike.
It was beautiful, wild and steep, and we soon stopped to catch our breath and eat the sandwiches we had brought with us.
Unfortunately the rain was beginning to set in, which made for dramatic photos, but soggy heads, so we soon turned around. It had given my brother a taste of the Brecons which had been the purpose of the trip, and hopefully some lovely memories too. Besides, a Catan rematch was calling!
