Wales, UK

The Weintraub's travel to Wales! We were invited to spend the day with Paul's 1st cousin Edith and her husband Peter Saundby. Janice and Phil stayed with them in the house in the village and Paul and I were just a short distance away in the Red Lion Inn in Llangynidr. Literally, just a 2 minute walk. We had such an enjoyable visit with them. Peter enjoyed telling us stories of World World II and Britain's history, while Edith prepared dinner and shared with us photographs of Paul's grandmother and mother.

Late in the afternoon, after Edith's grandchildren returned from school, we took at walk through the fields. Garance is in there somewhere...isn't she? And Paul showed off his soccer skills with Vienny, Garance's little brother.
We venuted back to London by way of Tinturn Abbey and Bath where we enjoyed afternoon tea and some delicious scones at the Pump House next to the Roman Baths. Everything was green and even though it was beautiful, as soon as Paul put on the classical music, we were all asleep in the car. Thank goodness for Dutch pancakes for dinner!
