Cardiff

 Cardiff castle






 City skyline


 Bute Park


We spent 3 days in the Welsh city of Cardiff, hubby and I, we last visited back in the 90's, and spent most of our time shopping, how times have changed. This visit we were tourist, we visited the castle, took the tour bus around the city, we ate out each evening, had a Wonderful welsh afternoon tea, which was scone cream and jam, a slice of Bara Brith, a Welsh rich fruit cake made with tea, in a tea room overlooking the park, which could have been straight out of a historic novel. We stayed in The Angel Hotel, which is opposite the castle, and we walked everywhere, it rained on Wednesday morning, the rest of the time was sunny and cold. Our stay was timed to perfection, the hotel was gearing up for a huge busy weekend as a rugby match was happening in the stadium, close to the hotel, just as we were booking out, we do like quiet brakes.
Back home we have already had a cuddle with George, Will and mummy, George has put on weight, so everyone is happy.
This afternoon our sign class is performing in the Library in Fareham, we have a poem, a book, and 2 songs to sign, mummy is hoping to bring Will and George to watch. Hubby is staying home to sort the leaves in the garden, it's the last big pick up as our tree is almost bare.
