Wales

We headed for Wales, J's mothers side of the family came from Wales many years ago. Unfortunately we had only a short overnight stop in Wales at a Spa town called Llandrindodd Wells. It was a very quiet town in the middle of nowhere. We checked our B&B guide for somewhere to stay, and finally talked to someone on a mobile in Devon, whose mother was running a B&B which he was sure had vacancies. We were told to park around the back and if we were not greeted through a second storey window, to toot the horn. As it was the lady of the house stuck her head out of the window and told us to come in the front door. The lady was basically stuck on the second floor, she was able to move, but not easily up and down stairs. She asked us if we were American! She was not happy that Andrew was vegetarian, the room was very small. We went out for dinner, driving north through the town and found nothing that was both open and inviting, in fact the place really seemed dead. Driving up round the corner found a little town next door, called Howey that had a jumping pub, that was smoke free and we asked about eating - it was very busy and we were told that it would be about an hour before we would be served. We walked across the road and got the last table at "Drovers Thai Restaurant". It used to be a pub, and it still had a snug for the guests. The food was very thai, Kedsarin, wife of the Roy who was running the place is Thai. I talked to Roy about the place and he told me that this was his semi retirement project. All in all it was an excellent feed. Back to our B&B and sleep. We had arranged a late breakfast the next morning and despite this, had to wait 30 minutes for our bacon with congeeled fat, and eggs that were a bit rubbery - maybe vegetarianism is not such a bad thing!!! Now we are heading to Scotland.
