'Future football player, here I come!'

Cadwaladr loves chewing and chasing his favourite football.

This video was taken on the second day he came to our home when he was 8 weeks old. He did not have Corgi ears yet. He looked like a little fox. This football is still his favourite and he goes everywhere it goes. And now he's learnt how to make us throw the ball. He places it at his feet and nudges it towards us with his nose! He is getting clever and clever. :)

Waterfall Country 3 : Sgwd yr Eira (Fall of Snow)

Hi, everyone!

This is Cadwaladr, the mucky puppy.

Today, I'm going to show you a waterfall called 'Sgwd yr Eira' which means 'fall of snow' in English. What a beautiful name! It is the most popular waterfall in Waterfall Country. In my opinion, it is one the most exciting attractions in Wales although I know I am just a 4 months old Corgi puppy. Lol!

Follow me!
















There were lots of visitors and they all looked excited! Why? Because there is a rocky trail that leads behind the falls which is great fun to explore and look through the falling water. I will show you what it looks like.

Ready?


Sorry, this is too short. To tell you the truth, I was a wimpy Corgi again! I could not record it for a long time. After watching this video, I believe you would understand why I was scared. Hear the sound of water falling down? Wow!

This is me behind the waterfall.
It looked fun swimming in the river, so I jumped in the river. But I suppose it was a bit early to swim. It was FREEZING!
Well, as it was a sunny day, I could see a rainbow. Isn't it beautiful? As the rays of sun hit the spray coming from the waterfall a mini rainbow was formed!







Cadwaladr.

Waterfall Country 2 : Sgwd Clun-gwyn (Fall of the White Meadow)

Prynhawn da!  Good afternoon!

This is Cadwaladr.

How is your Wednesday going?
My Wednesday is NOT good! My mum was so busy with her gardening this morning and she did not play with me at all! How dare she! So, I did a dirty protest just in front of Daddy's PC desk. She had to clean my mess. I showed her what I thought about her! Yeah!

Well, last Saturday, my family and myself went to Waterfall Country in Ystradfellte, in part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. On the way to the Waterfall Country, I enjoyed the beautiful country scenery from the car window. In this season, we see many lambs in the fields. They were following their mums everywhere. Oh, they are such babies! :)


We parked our car and followed the trail for the waterfalls.
Look at me! I look so happy!

After about an hour walk from the car park, we arrived at the most famous waterfall "Sgwd yr Eira". I will report about it tomorrow!

Well, after we enjoyed the waterfall "Sgwd yr Eira", it was quite late, so we decided to go home.

Now, I want to ask you a question!
Do you follow the trail when you go hiking?

I think we usually do. But my daddy doesn't! He loves to go off the trail and looks at his mobile phone that has GPS and he walks to where it says. On Saturday, he was in that mood again, so we went off the trail. You know what happened to us? There were bogs! My paws and my Daddy's shoes got soaked! We looked very mucky, but for me, it was quite fun! Lol! But not my mum! She looked very grumpy when she had to go into the bogs. Luckily, she has nice hiking boots, so she was fine. I wonder why she complained about going off the trail despite the fact her boots kept her feet dry? But it was just the beginning! My Daddy, he found it was not a good way to head for our car, so he decided to go back to the trail! We had to go into the bogs again! Can you imagine how angry my mum was? Lol!

Anyways, we went back to the trail, and we went to see "Sgwd Clun-gwyn" which means "fall of the white meadow" in English. It was very powerful!
