Welsh Greetings

Hi All,
Greetings from South Wales. Only six more sleeps until Clare arrives!
We have been getting the house organised for her visit and hoping the weather plays along.
Looking forward to showing off the hidden treasure that is Wales.
Have been having a few wins in our darts of late. Beat the other Gwyn team 9-2 on Tuesday. This week we have both teams playing at home so will be a busy night in the pub.
On Wednesday Jules and I went to see Robbie Williams at the stadium in Cardiff. What a show! Knew it would be, he is quite a performer. Had a wander in Cardiff and a few drinks before catching the train home. Needed to leave some time for the train queues to die down. Great night as it was unplanned. A friend gave me the tickets so it was last minute. Very enjoyable.
Jules has been playing with his new chainsaw and chopping some logs. The wood store is looking well stocked now. We have a good pile for the chiminea as well. Will be ready for a night or two on the patio with Clare.
Had a heatwave last week but we are back to usual temperatures now. Had a bit of rain. Bit more forecast for the week ahead. Hope it's all gone by Friday. Clare arrives at Heathrow about 7a.m. and will get a bus down to Port Talbot where we will collect her. Greatly looking forward to it - did I mention that already?
Hope you enjoyed your birthday last week Kev.
Sure the musical was a great success as always Annie.
That's about it for now. May try and post a few updates during Clare's visit. Also keep an eye on facebook.
Take care.
Lots of love,
Moo

Greetings from the south coast

Hi all,
Seems I've missed a few months of the blog.
I have checked out the train trip you did Moo, and it. really looks awesome.
Clare dropped by to m&d on Friday and we all looked at m&d photos of Wales. It was really great.
I wish I had taken all mine to show her, from my three trips there, actually four trips to Wales if I count the one I did in the 80s, before you were living there.
It really is a hidden treasure.
The rain has finally stopped here after a week of constant rain. Nice to see the sun. Hope it stays out for the arvo as we have a outside wedding to attend this arvo.
 I feel so restless, with so much rain, can't get the physical exercise I really think I need to keep a calm and happy frame of mind.
So many things to do in the garden, but everything too soggy. Suppose I could go to the gym, yuk! Actually should probably think about getting ready for the wedding
Love to all
Zak
