    | I have been on my holidays again.
 | 
   
    | They took me to Wales to get me fit.
 | 
   
    | As usual, we had lots of fuss until everything was packed.  
      		I made sure that my bed, food and rubber ring were in the car.  All 
      		they think about is clothes.  I carry mine on my back.
 | 
 | 
   
    | I think they made a mistake with this house.  
      		The apartment was on the third floor of a big old house.  All those 
      		stairs to climb!  Poor old Richard had to carry the suitcases, he needs 
     		 the holiday to recover.
 | 
   
    | The weather was marvellous, very warm and sunny. 
      		Luckily I had plenty of water to swim in.  I should have had a trim 
      		before the holiday.
 | 
   
    | One day we went to the forest. Someone told us 
      		of a lovely waterfall.  Yes you have guessed, we had to climb up there.  
      		It was very steep.  I played in every pool, Maureen said her knees 
      		were finished but Richard insisted we went to the top.  He was puffing 
      		and panting and we had to turn back before we reached the lake.  Four 
      		legs are useful sometimes.
 | 
   
    | We went to see two lakes another day.  I 
      		had a lovely swim and we walked round one of the lakes.  They wanted 
      		to climb a mountain but I was ready for my tea so we returned to the house.
 | 
   
    | We went to see a castle, Richard took a wrong 
      		turning and it took ages to get there.  There was no moat or water 
      		so I made sure we did not stay long
 | 
   
    | I liked Wales, the forests were lovely and cool 
      		with lots of streams, squirrels and other animals.  Some men were looking 
      		for gold.  I doubt if they found any.  I can think of better things 
      		to do on holiday, eating, swimming and chasing squirrels.
 | 
   
    | The food was very good.  We went to the 
      		local hotel each evening and had a good meal on the patio.  I ate all 
      		the tasty bits.    | 
   
    | Yes! This holiday was a success.  
        		I made sure that they were both fit before we went back home. I need to catch up on my rest now.   |  |
