Winter Has Come (From Pen Y Fan to Snow Day)

Winter has finally arrived in the Rhondda Valleys and I am making the most of it! 

So far, December has been a very active month and I have yet to even attempt the "hussle & bussle" of the daunting Christmas shop! 

Last Monday, I took the decision to treat myself to a days annual leave from the office and embrace the outdoors. I decided to embark on the ever so popular "Pen Y Fan". 

 If you have never visited Pen Y Fan and experienced the Brecon Beacons, I suggest you do so!

It's a breathtaking place with magnificent views! Also to top it off, at the bottom of the mountain after a challenging climb, you can always treat yourself to a burger from the famous Storey Arms burger van!☺

For more info on the Brecon Beacons or Pen Y Fan, there is an interesting TV programme currently on ITV every Friday at 8pm, "The Beacons Uncovered". It's worth a watch!

From one Monday off work to another! Although, today is a completely different situation entirely.  

After a great weekend sledding and mountaineering in the snow with the family, today I am one of the many few who has unfortunately fallen victim to the weather, preventing me from my usual Monday commute to the office.  

Instead you find me blogging about my alcohol free weekend and enjoying a nice cup of tea in the warmth of my home.

This weekend on the other hand may be slightly different with the Christmas office party on the horizon! 

Within my next post, I aim to review the new Star Wars film out this week (No Spoilers), the Penguins match (My local football team for those who are unaware of this) and the effects of a hangover on a 27 year old man after the Christmas office party! 

Enjoy the rest of your Monday folks!
