Off to Wales

[Mary Fisher]

See you all (well, some of you) when I get back in about two weeks.

You can talk about me while I'm gone, if you can be bothered. I wouldn't be so trivial ...

[Hywel]

Interesting. Why do you feel the need to tell us?

[Colin Wilson]

Have a nice time :-)

[Rick Dipper]

Have a good holiday.

You will see what the welsh are calling "bad driver indicators" stuck on certain cars. Its a white sign, with a red cross, stuck on a post attached to the rear window .............

There's no *need* but some might think that I'd left for good and be cheering. It's nice to disappoint them!

We SHALL have a good time in Wales whether we like it or not - but we do.

If you live in England, it's not difficult to have a better time in Wales, though, is it?

[Hywel]

God's own country, mate. Wales is so good he had to put England next door so that the rest of the world's countries didn't feel under-done.

[Andy Hall]

Of course. Wonderful place.....

Soon to be smashed rear windows I would have thought if they're driving around in Wales like that.

I've noticed them too - thought it meant 'everybody in this car has a tattoo and a bad temper'.

Hope Mary doesn't miss Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Actually Wales is one of my favourite places - every time we go we like it more than the last time.

It's also bigger than some people think.

Well, it's not really all that large, but the hills and the roads make it seem so, especially compared with the Midlands - going east-west along the top (A55) or the bottom (M4) isn't too hard, but although it is an excricuatingly pretty drive (Merthyr excluded), taking the A470 top to bottom isn't exactly quick.

It's a different route, but it used to take us 3 hours to drive from Caerphilly to Aberystwyth where my sister was in university, a distance of something like 95 miles. More recently it takes us just over 3 hours to drive 195 miles from Caerphilly to Sheffield :-/

But then possibly, as with our Celtic cousins in Cornwall, there's an argument for keeping the roads like this. After all, we don't want too many day-trippers, do we?

Hwyl!

Useless tittle-tattle - self-aggrandism - trolling - the need to belong without making any useful contribution at all?

I'm just back from a week off - well not at work but plumbing, wiring, floorboarding, drains, doorbell, frontdoor and a spot of gardening and thought you'd like to know this too :-)
