Today is the 15th of Sept. We have gotten back to Ellesmere and have stopped for a couple of days. One to use the internet and one to get a few groceries and then not get back to Whitchurch quite to soon. More to do here then in Whitchurch.
This is so weird as I sit her typing this.. a lady left her kind in a stroller.. out on the side walk and went into the post office with her other child. You do something like that in the states and if the cops didn't hang you.. other parents would. It has been about 10 minutes now... he is still sitting there. I am amazed.. and a little pissed.. but then a child to me is much more valuable then leaving on a street sidewalk.
Our trip up was super.. had a wee bit of excitement around TREVOR.. once we made it across the acquaduct.. I held my breath on that one! I am not using my own computer so I cannot put on any photos till I get to London then I can because I will have my computer.. THEN STACY.. I will get some photos on there. promise. :)
We had sunshine all the way up to Llangollen pronounced LAN GOLF LYNN.. I know.. there is no F in it.. but that is how they say it.. We can sure tell fall is in the air.. the evenings cool way down and have had to run the heaters in the evening before going to bed.. and once when I get up. We have an awesome quilt on.. that is 13.5 tog.. which means it is thick.. heavy and very comfortable. We are in love with it! We have been playing dominos in the evenings.. if you aren't into watching a good tv show now or then.. you will love it over here.. there is NOTHING here.. oh.. except a commercial with a weimerwimere (sp) dog.. and a gal.. for a BINGO.. hehehe they get up and start doing the Irish Jig.. funnier then all get out to see this dog doing the jig! When I have my puter.. will have to see if I can find the bingo web site for it.. you will all get a great laugh. Oh and as far as dominos.. I am getting smeared all over the floor.. sigh
Oh where was I.. the aquaduct was breathtaking.. then later we found out the water troft is held in place only by the water of the aquaduct.. and when crossing it.. the bow of the boat wants to suck into this little tiny sheet of metal holding up the one side.. amazing how it has stood for so long! The narrow part of the canal between Trevor and Llangollen is very narrow.. it is one boat only as it winds along the mountain side.. I got my excersize on that one! But it was pretty.. like the rest of the canal was. Llangollen was a very pretty town.. sat on a hill side.. you were either climbing down the hill.. or up the hill.. it was a killer.. beautiful town though. We went and took the Llangollen steam train to a town, something like Coogin .. took like 45 minutes one way. It was fun and pretty sceenery.
Once we left Llangollen we headed for Trevor where we planned to spend the night.. It was very uneventful.. found a place to moor up and spent the night. In the am we left in a hurry and jumped in behind a tour boat that goes across the canal and goes a bit, turns around and then goes up to Llangollen. We had a royal mess.. there were 5 of us boats in this little turn around area, waiting to cross the aquaduct. We wanted to stop at Jack Myttons again for dinner and the night. They had the best food yet.. I think.. It was poached salmon in white wine.. it was so good.. the whole thing.. dinner, people and atmosphere.
Well my hour is about up.. so better stop here for tonight..
Hugs to all.. will write more tomorrow..
