Off down memory lane again. We drove to North Wales, not on the motorway but via the scenic route. First stop was a place called Rhydymwyn where, as children, we used to camp. Strangely enough, both Ron’s and my families holidayed there separately ... Read more >

After a fairly long journey, made much easier by Tom-Tom! As Allan's house is apparently difficult to find, he met us at the Burtonwood Services. How good it was to see him again after over 20 years. Mind you, his new teeth are a bid disconcerting! He ... Read more >
