Today we attempted to get up early, but we are finding over here with the late twilight that we eat late and then don't go to bed late and of course it is difficult to wake up early.  However, by 8am we were over at David and Francis's son, Richard's dairy at Neuaddlwyd about 5minutes out of Llanfair Caereinion.  He milks 300 cows on a 54 head rotary dairy which has recently been installed.  We were pleased to hear it was made and designed in Australia and then installed by an Australian.  He has been buying in Swedish Red cattle which seem to be a very quiet type of cattle and more productive.  This being our last day in Wales we had a few more family visits to make.  We visited Lorna and her son, Peter.  Lorna's father and Graham's Grandmother were brother & sister.  She was very generous with the sherry. But we could not stay as we were on our way to Owstery to see Lynne, Eleanor and Mary, Graham's second cousins.  Like everywhere we have been in Wales we were treated like royalty and given the good dinner service and a beautiful afternoon tea.  We went to Gwnne and Eleary's house, saw their barn conversions (now B & B's) and had a delicious dinner.
