PM and her husband Philip are trekking around the hills of North Wales as G7 foreign ministers meet in Italy
THERESA May is taking a five-day break in Snowdonia as the West slips deeper towards conflict with Russia over Syria.
The PM and her husband Philip are trekking around the hills of North Wales – a country she visits every year to “get out and about and see scenery, to clear your mind and your thinking”.
She visited a craft shop in Dolgellau, Gwynedd over the weekend and won’t return to London until later in the week
Speaking about her love of Wales last month on a visit to Cardiff, the PM said: “We stay in a hotel and try to walk every day.
“Walking is about relaxing, getting exercise and fresh air.”
Number 10 insisted the PM would “continue to be briefed and updated as required”.
The Sun today reported how the PM picked up a £32 silver ring after a crafty bit of bargain hunting.
She was spotted wearing one of two rings from the Celf Aran Arts shop, before a service at St Mary’s Church in Gwyndd, North Wales.

“I’ve had famous people in here before, but a Prime Minister is really surreal and certainly a first.”
“She didn’t get a discount for being Prime Minister” joked Matt Fletcher, 38, who served her.
“When I realised it was Theresa May, I got very nervous and started to fumble with the keys for the display case.
“‘I said to her, ‘is it you?’, and she said: ‘Well, it depends on who you is.’
“She was really down to earth, nothing like Cameron or Osborne would have been.”
