Doing my bit as part of British Tourism Week, I visited the beautiful Hiraethog area of my constituency. Under the friendly direction of master butcher Alun Jones, of Cig y Llan, Cerrigydrudion, I made a string of sausages (much harder than it sounds), feeling a bit like a contestant in the Generation Game.Then on to Hafod Elwy Hall, where we were treated to a magnificent buffet (including the sausages) and took in the impressive vista of the snow-capped foothills of Snowdonia.
An interlude in the week as far away from the frenetic pace of Westminster as one could imagine.
Yet it is for this place and its people that I am there. Coming back and doing stuff like this (corny as it sounds) makes it all worthwhile.

Gentle on the sausage David, how I love a sausage!
Like roast beef, you can not beat a good fry up!
You were lucky to find a butcher such as the one in your photograph.
They are all but an extinct breed poor buggers.
I am sure the freshness and quality were up there with the best!
The big supermarkets are out for complete domination no matter what they say to the contrary.
This may sound a bit corny, but We all have to use the small man when ever we can.
It really is a case of use them or loose them.
Nice to see you supporting the traditional small business such as this David
Nice one!
do not wish top put a damper on things, but it really was commendable for an MP to be supporting such a worth while cause, but the way things are going in the business sector, we are heading for a full blown recession.
The centre of Manchester, such as King Street West have seen many business's disappearing of the street, look at Colwyn Bay, empty shops every where, each town is the same.
Baton down the financial hatches, we are heading into a storm, this old sailor can feel it in his blood and the wind!
