"Bore da"

"Bore da" (pronounced 'Bore-ray dar'). "That's 'Good Morning' in Welsh".
"Hi Y'all, how are ya". "That's 'Good Morning' in Oklahoman"

So started the conversation on a recent visit to the Border Agency Offices in Cardiff, South Wales, Sharon had to attend to give biometric data for her visa renewal now that we are married. As Cardiff is about a three hour road trip, we decided to go deeper into Wales and spend the weekend in Brecon, about 40 miles from Cardiff and in the heart of the Brecon Beacons.

Since returning home we have had another day on Dartmoor, including a visit to Dartmoor Prison Museum, (After 1812 when the United Stated declared war against the UK American prisoners were housed there.)

Following this, Sharon had a 'girls day' out to Minehead, on the north Somerset coast, including a ride on a West Somerset Railway steam train, something she has wanted to do since arriving here,

Back at home, 'Ol' Glory' flies proudly outside our front door. This is a story in itself ..... the first flagpole bracket buckled twice (in two days) with the wind .............. not to be beaten, the replacement is fabricated, welded, and heavyyyyyyy !!!!! Eventually we intend to fly our 'combined' flag ..... as seen at the bottom right of this page.

What with all of this, the gardening, the photography, etc ..... and taking very good care of her man, life is very busy - but no doubt she will eventually get around to writing something herself again.
