St. Donat's and Carreg Cennen

Hi all,
We've had a quiet weekend, but have managed a few drives. The temperature here is almost the same as Melbourne (it has only taken 5 months! Wonder how long it will last - I suspect about September). So good in fact we had our lunch today outside on the patio - the first time!
Saturday arvo, we headed west from Ely to Cowbridge (about 10 km)- a nice little town. From there we headed down to the coast to St. Donat's. There was a castle and church here. The Castle is now a College. From St. Donat's we headed home to Ely.
On Sunday, we first went into Cardiff and did some shopping. After lunch (on the patio) we headed west to a place called Carreg Cennen, where there is the remains of a castle ( I think this may be the last castle or cathedral we visit!) on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons. It had fantastic views and a cave to explore. (Please check Billy's blog - the alledged truthful blog - and see if he mentions what he left in the cave!!). From the castle we travelled along the top of the Brecon Beacons to Brecon and then home to Cardiff.

Cheers and GO PIES!
