Michnus and myself were having some discusions in a PM and I said I would post some photo,s of Wales as he wants to do a trip there sometime. One point Mich, from the border to the coast where we are in the middle N/S of Wales is just over 50 miles, 80kms it is not a big country!

Yes believe it or not, mainly not I am sure, I was in the choir in this church.

View from the church to Powis Castle, this is castle country, easily 50 castles, ruins or sites within a 15 mile radius of this point.

This view is from Montgomery castle 6 miles away destroyed by Oliver Cromwell. This is as far as the Romans got, all the roads in the area are twisty and fun, don,t know if you can see in thephoto, but one road is dead straight it is the remnanty of the old Roman Road.

From my home town of Welshpool, there is a narrow guage steam service run by volunteers, (I used to be one) these are the two original engines built around 1904 and still running!

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
