Home at last.
May. 5th, 2013 09:23 pmCame back via Llangollen.
We parked at J&D's hotel and drove into town then walked up Castell Dinas Bran, which was in theory, a mile, but mostly up and lots of switchbacks. http://www.castlewales.com/dinas.html
We had lunch at the Llangollen canal wharf, I had a savoury cream tea - a pot of tea, a cheese scone, a pot of cream cheese and a pot of tomato relish, and very good it was too. Oh, and a slice of homemade chocolate cake. Nom.
Jaine and I went on the canal for the 45 minute horse drawn trip, which was livened up by us running aground and me finding a new use for the thumb stick, used it as a short but sturdy barge pole.

Highly recommended if you are passing that way. Next time we intend to go over the aqueduct.
Came home (only about an hour from Llangollen) to find one indifferent cat (his cat sitters clearly do a better job than me) and several CSI type crime scenes, complete with chalk outlines of his victims (courtesy of Serena, what she doesn't know is that the previous feline overlord, Spookie, would have done just that) the one inside the microwave being the most funny. Also came back with a cold, thank you James and Max keeps sighing dramatically every time I blow my nose (he's forgiven me enough to go to sleep cuddled up to me on the sofa).
