Harry Ramsdens in Cardiff

When we visit Cardiff it's a regular walk down to the Bay for Harry Ramsdens. A check on the internet told us the had no space, but we needed the exercise and walked down anyway to find less than a dozen people in the restaurant. We were very disappointed this time, decor looking tatty and fish and chips very average, in fact there are better chip shops in Bradford on Avon.

St Mary's Priory, Abergavenny

 The Tithe Barn of the Priory Church has been restored. 

 It contains a small shop.

An excellent little cafe, that does a good selection of food including all day breakfast.

 

 A display and education room.

And the magnificent Abergavenny Tapestry that was designed by Susie Martin and created by a group of over 60 local volunteers, as a way of celebrating the new millennium in 2000.

 

 Whoops almost forgot the Priory, it was founded in 1087 as a Benedictine Priory.

Baths Dai Greene.

Baths World Champion Dai Greene has qualified 
for his place in the 400m hurdles at the Olympics.

Photographed Tuesday at Bath University.

Tree comes down in the wind.

Andy knocked on the window last night to tell me that a tree was coming down in the garden due to the high winds.
I grabbed a camera and the tree came down before I even had time to check the camera settings.

 But when you get close to it you can see how rotten the base was.

 And what a very big tree it was, Andy is 6 foot.

No takers for the trip around the bay then.

Olympic torch is at the Bath

I though the Olympic torch is at the Bath University early, but it’s just the new car charging points.
