The Day we drove to South Wales 9th August

Beautiful day. Under instructions to get to South Wales early afternoon. Journey estimate about 3-4 hours.


Up early checked emails, breakfast and then the daily routine to go through the days mail to see how much money Mum has won or what awards she has been given. Mums mail can be up to 5 or 6 letters all claiming she has been selected as the winner of the £1000 prize or something similar. All she has to do is send £10 to cover postage and handling, make an order and the cheque will be on its way! We have been the lucky ones selected for a carriage clock, holiday and numerous other great prizes. It dosen't take us long to decide they are just after Mums money.


Some of the charity letters receive some acknowledgement as money likes to support children in Africa and other 'worthy' requests. Thankfully Mum is quite selective in her decisions and weeds out the ones that look sus. I must say it really boosts the mail delivery each day and keeps the postman in a job.


It was off into CC for Beatrice and I.Left Mum to get her things together for our little trip away whilst we were off to buy some sun glasses. We walked down by the river past the old mill place. Checked them all out.Settled on a pair that were on special in the super drug store. Coffee was called for in the soho cafe in church street.
