I'm late, I'm late...

If there is anyone out there following this blog and thinks I've just stopped. Wrong!!

We are now in a very small village in Wales called Berriew, and today have come down from Bangor, after seeing our friend David. We had a long, and very emotional day with him and his wonderful wife Gwenda, and she is trying to cope with the final days. Lee and I don't think he will make it past the end of this week, but who knows?

It was so good to be able to see him, even in the state he's in, (the cancer is now in his liver), and glad that he hung on for so long to see us. He wants to "go", but is  naturally concerned about his own family. He also asked, (as he has done for years now), how Melanie and her family, and Jeremy are coping.

So, a small sad part of the trip, which is now behind us, and it was heart-wrenching to say goodbye, but so glad we came.

We were able to make the short run down to Caernarfon after leaving Bangor, and visited the castle. Wow, what a place, and so grand and castellated, and turrety, and with hidden passages and rooms. It's all a huge ruin, but so worth seeing. Photo's to follow in another post. 

On a brighter, but frustrating note...the reception for the email and phone and internet was very bad in the area we were in, but we hope to catch up today and tomorrow.
