I didn't actually vanish

[elisi]

Hello everyone. Sorry for being semi-absent, we went to Wales for a week's holiday.

Which was very lovely indeed, and we spent a day on the river, and walked up a mountain (/big hill) saw Llanthony priory and Castell Coch, and (of course!) went to Cardiff where I saw Ianto's Shrine (♥) and went to the Doctor Who Experience.

Hence this icon. You go on an 'adventure' with the Doctor, and one of the rooms you go in, is the one with the TARDIS 'tree' and 'eggs'. I am still not over that. And Impish Girl got to pilot Eleven's TARDIS! Although the adventure was with Twelve, who was suitably delightful/rude.

(Am useless at writing about RL. But there will soon be meta! Which is another reason I've been so quiet...)

Aw, well that's a good reason for being absent. I'm glad you all enjoyed it!

Oh, how wonderful! I love that room in that ep; it's amazing. (Although topped by the library, obv. ;-p)

Yes, a lovely time was had by all. :D

Nope, that room is the best, no question!

Oh wow, what a neat thing to get to see. (The river and castle sound lovely, too!)

[elisi]

It was all good. But rivers and castles can be seen many other places...

Your holiday sounds lovely! :D And ohhhh, DW experience! :D

It was all very lovely! <3

It's good to hear from you *^^*

Sounds like a lovely holiday <33

[elisi]

I'm always here, honest!!

And yes, it was a very nice holiday.

Glad you had a good time in Wales. I did the DW Experience when it was in Olympia (Kensington), it was a lot of fun.

Can't wait for the meta!

[elisi]

Wales is always lovely. Can't believe it's twelve years since we last went...

I did the DW Experience when it was in Olympia (Kensington), it was a lot of fun.
I am now wondering what that was like. I think it must change.

Can't wait for the meta!
META HAS NOW BEEN POSTED!

YAAAAAAY.

Sounds like a great holiday! Visiting Ianto's shrine - how awesome!

So glad Impish Girl got to pilot the TARDIS. That'll be a great memory! :)

Yes, it was all good. My girls were not sure about the Shrine, I don't think they could quite wrap their head around it. ;)

And LOTS of good memories all round. <3

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can see how the Shrine might be confusing. But at least they had fun in other places. :)

They are well-verse in fandom, but they were still stunned.

Ianto fans are just that one cut above!!

Well, it's true.

Glad you had a good break and enjoyed your time in Wales :) :)

DW experience - so bummed they are closing! It's been on my want-to-do-list for a while now.

[elisi]

They're closing??? D:

[verdande-mi.livejournal.com]

Yes. Somone told me not long ago here on LJ, and I checked and they are closing this September if I don't remember the month wrong.

[elisi]

That's very tragic. :(

[verdande-mi.livejournal.com]

I have no idea how well they are doing and how many people visit, but I would reckon a lot, so it does seem a bit strange to me. Glad you got to go! :)

[elisi]

Yes, it was sold out when we went (luckily we booked online), and it's a massive place. V odd.

Anyway, had a lovely holiday, and extra glad we went. :)
