I've had a very busy few days. Last Thursday I got the Balmoral (a boat see http://www.waverleyexcursions.co.uk ) from Penarth Pier to Clevedon in Somerset (I think), had a few beers and then got the boat back. Of coursew I took my camera and the results can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/welshicons/ .
Yesterday I took the train from Cardiff to Caerphilly. I was surprised that the journey only took about 15min which gave me time to have a pint after photographing the Caephilly Castle. To my great joy I also discovered an old fashioned sweet shop with just about everything you remember from your childhood being sold in jars. What's more, they even sold in quarters (as well as 100 grams which I've never got my head around).
Off to Penarth now for lunch - will report back soon.
B.T.W. the sweet shop is called Yum Yum and is at 52 Cardiff Road, Caerphilly. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
