These are the three most commonly words uttered by my today - Wales is just amazing - the scenery, the people, the food and the beer (from Josh!)

Well today started early, with being picked up by our tour guide from our hostel. We set out from Cardiff to Caerphilly, a small town with an amazing castle - there are over 400 castles in Wales! One tower at Caerphilly castle was attacked thousands of years ago ...

... with interesting (much more than mine) stories to tell and laughs to share. I also have a drive for life knowing what i have accomplished and what can be accomplished if you put your mind to it.

So that was our trip... i hope you enjoyed the read... if there is anyone out there reading this and i can now give you a quick run down of the new chapter we are starting.

Hi there,

So the last time we wrote we'd picked up Chezza and we were in recovery mode!
So what have we done since then?

Well, Chezza was feeling a lot more alive than what we though she was going to be (jet lag wise) so on Monday Noma and Chezza had a walk into town after I had gone to pick up the hire car. I had already planned to get my fix of golf! So off they went to wander around the shops for a few hours and off I went to the ...

... through and raced into a shop while a Community Policeman looked after her horse.

Lona found some undies and I a pair of sneakers, back to Tudor Rd where Tash cooked Spag Bol.

Yesterday we spent almost all day at Abson with Jim & Mona, had a nice lunch at the ancient Rose & Crown in Wick, lovely old pub. Went back to their house and checked out Jims stable of vehicles. It still contains his 4 ...

... go cell phones from the Orange store for £40 - really easy to set up and a lot easier than having to worry about roaming charges on our US phones. Plus we can use them next year.

It didn't take long to adjust to hearing all the British accents again. By the time we'd arrived at Paddington I had stopped being surprised!

We waited at Paddington for 2 hours for our train. We had brought our tickets in ...

... Proms on the Close, happened to be right in our neighborhood on the grounds of the lovely Clifton College where the “well to-do” send their children from all over world to attend the prestigious boarding school. I couldn't resist doing a little research on the place. Per the 2008 rates, it would cost just a measly 8,500 pounds per term to send your child there. There are three terms per year so at the ...

... water in buckets from tanks at the end of their streets - if they are lucky! (Later - running water not suitable for drinking has been restored to some houses by 29th and it is expected that all houses will have running water again by 1 August - but it won't be suitable for drinking for up to 2 weeks). And of course many farms also don't have running water, which is a major problem for those with livestock. And too much water is ruining harvests.
