Welsh adventures

We've come away for a few days to recharge some batteries & soak up some culture. After finding a particularly nice deal off a website, me & the mister have arrived in Cardiff with high hopes of castles & the Doctor Who exhibition.

The drive over was extraordinarily pleasant. Being a pair of history buffs, we decided to go to Tewkesbury to see the Abbey & the battlefield. As the Mister is a Yorkshireman, the site of the last Yorkshire battle of the Wars of the Roses is something of a pilgrimage. Lots of likely historical figures are buried in the (very impressive) abbey.

We saw quite a bit of snow as we crossed the welsh border but the bright sunshine is such a blessed relief after so much miserable weather this year.

At the moment, Mister is drowning himself in the bath after successfully navigating quite a few motorways. It's going to be a good holiday!
