Wales

Our main "port of call" will be: **Trelewis, near Treharris Merthyr Tydfil** where Mags (Margaret Hawke) lives ||   ||  ||

 * We had a wonderful, all too short, few days in the south wales valleys with Mags. Although she kept insisting that the weather had been fantastic - sunny and clear blue skies - the previous week, we experienced "typical" Welsh weather - overcast, gloomy and wet! (sorry Mags). It didn't really matter at all as we explored the valleys, visited Cardiff, went to a choir rehearsal (really lovely), watched the local rugby match and drank at the rugby club afterwards (as you do).

We visited Millenium Stadium, the home of Welsh Rugby, where the Wallabies will be playing Wales next Saturday - I managed to grab hold of the cup they play for and offered to bring it home to save the trouble later but, for some reason, they wouldn't let me!

Below is a recording of Mag's choir) OK its not really hers but, you know what I mean. Its a recording of "In Memorium" sung in Welsh - its beautiful!
