6 years.. yup, it’s been that long. As a special treat I decided to take Vicky on a journey back in time to 1999 so on Friday evening we went for a Chinese buffet followed by bowling…. which I let her win of course . Between the meal and bowling session we had an hour to kill so spent a few minutes playing air hockey before discovering the ‘portrait’ machine.

We chose Rembrandt to draw our picture, incidentally he is American didn’t you know, judging from his accent. Saturday was a quieter affair… Paddy and Lorna passing briefly through on their way to catch the ferry, and I went to the Toyota garage to get my spare car key programmed. Worth the trip because you get a free valet clean and safety check whenever you visit them!

And today we dropped the kids off at Granny and Grancher’s house before being driven to Maesteg. We walked back to the village through the hills which I like to call my back garden. The rain didn’t quite hold out but it was only light drizzle. The views were pretty decent once the clouds started to clear. This walk was just a 7 mile warm-up for Vicky… the real walk should have started another 5 miles North and taken in two more 200 metre climbs / descents but I decided we should start easy for now. Once we got home I helped Poppy make some little paper boxes and packets ready to put our DFC in. Sorry, that’s Daddy’s Fried Chicken. Well, it’s cheaper than another takeaway and kept her occupied for an hour or so!
