Bus stops and golf

We didn't go very far afield today. First Keith decided he'd like a quick bout of golf practice. I had said I would be interested in trying it out too, being a complete and utter novice, but - hitting a ball with a stick, how hard can it be? I thought. WRONG!!! It's much harder than it looks - but it's also good exercise. Mind you, Keith didn't do too well either, between you and me! So, after a quick stint at the driving range, we began today's meanderings - this time around Chirk and the area around Llangollen Take a look here
We had a lovely drive and saw some beautiful scenery. I never cease to be amazed at the wealth of amazing views and places to visit on our doorstep. As we were cruising up and down mountains, we came across this.....


Very strange, I thought, but no, Keith had the answer as usual. You may recall an earlier discovery of the bus stop on the way to Pentrefoelas. Keith did mention that the prehistoric Welsh were a very forward looking race, well, here, if you needed it, is even more evidence (he said). A prehistoric bus stop for the 22 bus! Amazing or wot!!!
On the other hand, he said, Douglas Adams could have put it there as the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything - maybe it is 22 instead of 42.
(And maybe that's going just a bit TOO far!!!)

What a wonderful idea that party is! As for the golf - I was surprised at how tricky it was but it's good exercise. Of course, you get plenty of that in your line of work! Good luck with the lessons anyway. :)

Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
