davem1111 2,030 #11 Posted July 7 HEY! Sorry I wasn't around to thank you all for the birthday wishes. I have been way too busy to get on here for a while. Our renovation work is going well, making lots of progress. We also just got back from a trip to GA and NC, visiting family and close friends. AND..... I have some great news! As of Friday, I have officially become a Grandpa! My daughter, her hubby, and the new baby girl are over in Wales, so it's gonna be a while before we get to see them. Hoping to go over in October or November. Woohoo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They live (almost?) walking distance from Hay Castle in Hay-on-Wye, which is about a thousand years old. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing that surprised me when I first drove from London to North Wales was the lack of forested areas. When I questioned this,, I was told the forests were clear cut in the 1700s to provide timber for the Royal Navy Shipbuilding. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And subsequent efforts to promote re-forestation have been soundly defeated by a variety of interests that want to slowly but surely use that “open” space for their own ends. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
