With breakfast done it was time to hit the road for a long day of driving to Wales. I was very attentive and was ready to make stops on the way if we saw anything worthwhile. It was early in the drive as I turned quickly off the road into an antique-like shop.
Sometimes I go into a bit of a trance in these situation. I do remember hearing words like "tidying" and "redecorating". I remember seeing lots of interesting stuff. I remember paying a bill of 90 pounds. Being a good husband does not pay.
We detoured to Shrewsbury and drove into and out of town 3 times. We narrowly avoided head ons with trucks, buses and tractors. We saw golf courses in the most out of the way places.
A visit to the Iron Bridge at Iron Bridge led to a welcome walk and sausage roll before once more hitting the road. The closer we got to Wales, the more it rained and the better the roads got. My co-pilot would agree had she not been sleeping.
It's not every day that you get to drive into town through an old castle but that's what Conwy offers. We found our b and b, went for a 5km run to try and shake off the large amounts of shortbread being digested and headed off to the pub. Excellent meals of lasagna and lamb burger and then off to bed. I really should write these on the day it happens.
