And you survived it well, Pam. That must have been around the time you took a liking to tall hats, although yours have a point at the top ;-)

Haha- I remember that one! We got out there once and the time until the next train got very long... People in Cymru generally were very nice to us when they realized we could pronounce "ch";-) HFF, Neil!

Polyrus replied to Gudrun:

Some parts of Wales have a reputation for being antagonistic towards visitors, but I think that is linked to places which have so-called holiday homes that are unoccupied for much of the year.
In my experience I have found Welsh villagers to be friendly, helpful and hospitable.

HFF to you too, Gudrun.
