Born on this day 1895,

Agnes Twiston Hughes, the first Welsh woman to qualify as a solicitor.

Agnes was educated at the Welsh Girls' School in Ashford, Surrey and Bangor County School for Girls before gaining a B.Sc (Economics) from the University of London in 1918. She then gained first class honours from the Law Society in 1923, thus becoming the first Welsh woman to qualify as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales. Agnes then worked at her father's firm of solicitors in Conwy, which she took over following his death. In retirement, she became a local councillor before becoming Mayor of Conwy in 1954.

Have you been to the smallest house in Great Britain measuring just 72 inches wide by 122 inches high?

It was occupied right up until May 1900, and ever since it has been visited and marvelled at by people from around the world

Step back in time in Conwy. Walk medieval streets, explore one of Europe’s finest castles and uncover stories around every corner. 🏰 A visit to Conwy is a journey through Welsh history, whatever the season.

It has been a fabulous first summer for me here. Thank you to all lovely guests, both with and without dogs.
This was the first rain at Bodnant last week and I had a lovely wet walk with Bryn on one of their dog days.
Highly recommend and only 6 miles away.
I am currently drying out the winter log delivery and will have available for sale at Pen Glorian for those wishing to have a cosy evening in front of the log burner.
Would it be beneficial to you if I also stocked fire lighters and kindling?
Will be a bell ring away rather than a supermarket trip.

Empty for 24 hrs until Dec so a very rush paint job for the house. And some roses and lavender added to the garden project due to finally having some night rain.
Thought I’d have an empty week somewhere to do but Diolch for the bookings. 24hrs it is.

The heatwave this summer has revealed more details of Canovium, the Roman fort 4 miles up the road from Pen Glorian. Turn right out of the drive and head for Caerhun church. Visit the church and discover Canovium.

My lad thinks he is a dachshund.
Blankets are supplied to cover the furniture if your invite your dogs up.
Towels are supplied for after a wet walk.
Rugs and dog beds are changed between guests.
Everyone with dogs has left the house beautifully cared for on departure. Which means we don’t charge extra for your pets to holiday with you.
Just here to say Diolch.
