Hi all,
Been a very busy week (9 days). It started last Saturday, when all 5 of us went to Stratford-upon-Avon. It is a very pretty little town with lots of tourists. We first dropped in at Anne Hathaway's (Shakespeare's wife) house and then into the town itself. We wandered around and saw the sights of Stratford-upon-Avon. From here we headed to Warwick, where we had lunch in the park. From Warwick we drove through Kenilworth then off to Hereford. Hereford had a nice Cathedral and was a typical British town. From Hereford we started to head back to Cardiff via Hay-on-Wye and Brecon.
Sunday morning, Andy and Declan took Lucy to Caerphilly Castle and Castle Coch.
Lucy left for Amsterdam on Monday and then went to Brussels and Brugge and by the time you read this she will be on her way to Milan and returning to Cardiff on Thursday evening.
Andy played skittles again on Tuesday and had his best round so far: 33 (25 is considered par)
The rest of the week was cricket, cricket, cricket! The first Ashes test was in Cardiff. The boys went on Day 1 and was very enjoyable. On Day 4 we all went and had a very good day even though the last session was washed out (ultimately this cost Australia the test!). We have just arrived home from Day 5 - a fantastic day's cricket - unfortunately Monty Panesar and James Anderson somehow held us out for 11 overs. The English (& Welsh) crowd were carrying on like they had won the test, but the signs look good for the Aussies for the rest of the series.
Anyhow last week of school for the academic year and then 6 weeks off - Whoopee! All pics have been posted on the Web Albums,
Cheers,
Andy
PS Another good win for the Pies!! (Any sponsors for a return trip home, if we make the GF?)
