Saturday 18th August Raglan

Up early,well 8.00am and down to breakfast. Beatrice not feeling hungry decided to give it a miss. Pleasant surprise when Richard joined me for a cup of tea before setting off to the Camping & Kite centre.
Johnnie very kindly offered to take us into Monmouth to visit the Nelson Museum and Local History Centre.
Raining when we arrived and not opening until 1100am so it was to the coffee shop across the road seeking shelter and some warmth.
Had a good look around and was interested to discover that when Nelson came to Monmouth to be presented the keys to the city for his great victory at the Nile he stayed two nights at the Beaufort Arms in Raglan. I wonder if he also stayed in room one ?
Read all about Abergavenny ( Heart of South East Wales) and well known as the Gateway to Wales.
Castles, Canals, Museums, Abbeys so much to see, we could spend months here and not see it all.
Back to the Garden centre to drop Johnnie off before we headed back to Bonviliston.
Watched the rugby Wales v Argentina thankfully Wales won so the celebrations in the pub afterwards were all in a good spirit.
Not so good for the English though who lost to the French side . Back to the coach for some extra help here I think before they take the Aussies on in the world cup next month in France.
Enjoyable day.
