To celebrate my 100th post I will share with you my holiday plans for 2007.
They are as follows :
Nada, nothing, nowt, fukc all, zilch etc. You get the picture.
It's been an expensive year. I have moved home twice with it's associated expenses, so the bottom line is no exotic holidays for TG and Co this year.
Shame! I hear you mutter.
I need not your sympathy (though a pint of vodka shandy would make me feel better! happy088) as I have resigned myself to these same four walls for the rest of the year.
Until....Enter the stepkids eyes:.
I am now going away for four days at the end of the month.
"Where are you off to TG?" I hear you ask.
Well, you will be jealous I know but I am going on an all expenses paid (by me) trip to..........
wait for it............
Steady now.........
Here we goooooooooooooooooooooo!
I am going to................
TONYPANDY!

REMEMBER
All museums in WALES are free thanks to the WAG (Welsh Assembly Gov)
Highly recommende are The Museum of Welsh Life (See the link) 100 acres of grounds around St Fagans Castle where they have a collection of buildings from all over Wales (Demolished and rebuilt on site brick for brick, or stone for stone). Cardiff Museum, where they have a summer exibition of some of the most amazing art in the country for a limited time.
Just a short distance away is the Big Pit (yes, it is now a museum and is FREE) you get to go down the mines and spend a while underground, it is a fantastic experience.

You are most welcome. 8)
Serious hat on, I found it ( going down the mine) a very interesting experience, I was a tad worried as I have been in a number of cave systems in various parts of the world and found them mildly claustrophobic. Perhaps it was the forced air, but I had no problems at all down the mine.

I hope you have / had a good time, I had forgotten they took my keys and phone off me, sorry should have mentioned that. They have a locker topside, which they lock it all up in and you get it back as soon as you step out of the cage and give them their hard hats and lanterns back (The power packs are not too heavy!).
St Fagan?s is just good fun, and very good for history, don?t spend too long indoors in weather like this, get out and about in the grounds. Don?t miss the house of the future.

Actually that picture does demonstrate one of the most knackering features of walking in the Brecon Beacons. If you go up the hills you keep seeing what appears to be the summit only to find it is a ridge and there is another climb the other side of it and another beyond that and so on. The only other advice is watch out for the mist! It looks very pretty creeping up the next hillside and suddenly you are in the thick of it. Only answer is to sit down, have a warm drink and wait it out ~ if not broken limbs are the usual result. Once you reach the "Tops" the views are amazing and the quiet unbelievable, until the RAF come by of course, which they do fairly regularly.
This trio approaching RAF Valley (Anglesey) being a typical example of what passes over head and sometimes below you (if you have reached the "tops")

OK. I have been down the pit.
It is not for the dainty or the clostrepopic clausterphop clous people who are scared of tight spaces but it is a remarkable experience and I reccomend any of you that get down this way to give it a go. The above ground museum is excellent as well.
And its free!

Above is a picture of a welsh hill. This was pretty much the view from the back door of where we were staying. I post this not to expose the poor quality of my digital photographic skills or my inferior photographic equipment.
I post it to show you a blighted landscape.
I speak not of disused coal mines and the overgrown slag heaps that are visible throughout this part of the world, nor of communities devasted by the shutdown of the coal industry. After all the slag heaps are blending into the landscape and everywhere i went I could see the signs of economuic re-generation. I mean there are building sites everywhere!
If you look halfway up the photograph and a little to the right you can see a crucifix.
A humoungous, mahoosive bastard great cross.
It must have taken a lot of effort to make that. A LOT of effort.
I am told the church had a lot of power in this part of the world. But, thankfully I could see a lot of 'chapels' derelict or up for sale. Hopefully, soon, some one with more stamina than me will get up that hill and restore the landscape.

In recent years Cromford has lost some of its long standing traditions and familiar landmarks have changed.
The Carnival and fair are no longer held.
The Cromford Steam Rally, originally held on Cromford Meadows, now takes place at Brackenfield, although still retaining its name.
The Masson Mill in Matlock Bath, which provided employment for many Cromford people, closed and is now a shopping village and museum.
The Blacksmith's shop on the Market Place re-opened in 1999 as three separate units - a beauty salon, an osteopathy centre, and a Chinese grocery and takeaway.
Howards Bakery closed on March 31st 2006, and there are plans for conversion to shops and flats.
Cromford Mill was last in use as a Colour Works, but is now a Visitor Centre owned and run by the Arkwright Society, with a variety of shops and businesses occupying the old buildings.
The growing volume of traffic and increasing number of accidents on the A6 led to the installation of traffic lights and pedestrian crossings at the Crossroads. Road markings and speed restrictions have helped to bring the accident rate down.
That sounds like so many villages in the UK. cry:

Anyway.
The people that run this flat are really tight.
Although it's nicely appointed they will not leave even the most basic things. Me & Mrs TG have rented a lot of self catering flats/cottages around the UK and most leave the basics for you even if they were left by previous tennants.
We have had to go out and buy the simple things like salt & pepper, toilet roll, bin bags, washing up liquid & similar.
I will be taking everything back and not leave them for the next tennants as we normally would, even If I have to buy an extra suitcase to get the groceries home!

An impending sense of doom I would imagine
But, as Nick said, excellent restaurants and pubs (seven with Michelin stars). The Feathers is worth a try just to look at the woodwork/building, but the food is crap

I used to go shopping in Ludlow when I lived just outside of Clun. It has some lovely houses.
-
Is Clun some sort of euphemism?

I think I've said this before Miss C, a beautiful part of the country
-
.... and its not too difficult to hear the tinkling sound ...
of banjos.
-
Its a lovely town.
Nice cheese shop.
Also the TG's bought some stuff from a butcher whose sign sayeth produce is 'home killed' which produced much morbid hilarity.
I mean does the bloke have a back garden full of pigs, cows, sheep (also deer, pheasant, partridge, wild boar) and stilton sausages then gets up in the morning and sprays said back yard with machine gun fire or what?
No .50 calibre bullets in the gammon or sausages or even the pork pie so he must have more subtle methods one supposes.

If it's the one I think it is, his beef (long horn, Hereford, Dexter) is hung for 21 days cloud9: (particularly the Dexter)

I went to a restaurant in Greece once that proudly advertised "WE KILL OUR OWN MEAT"
It was a goat restaurant noooo:
Their goats lived in a field around the restaurant and came and looked over the wall at us while we were eating.
Bit offputting actually noooo:
I did enquire about the menu, like. I was told "There's not much goat in this one". It was like Monty Python noooo:
That was the holiday where Mrs Nick accidentally ate a raw squid and puked on my back while I conveyed her on a moped noooo:
-
How do you accidentally eat a whole raw squid, was she snorkelling with her mouth open or something?
-
Is that some kind of euphemism?
-
No, was just wondering if said squid swam into her open mouth where it was swallowed. whistle:
-
No, it was a mix up in a Greek caff. The wimmin had gone out and left the men in charge of the coooooking noooo:
