Down to Llangollen to have a ride on a train.  The track run up alongside a river and there are 4 stations along the way.  We paid an extra pound to sit in First Class.  We struck up a conversation with six others in the compartment.  It turned out there were 3 sisters and a brother and 2 in-laws who were away for a couple of nights together.



When we got back to the station we went for a walk around Llangollen.  It is a pretty town, but obviously caters for the tourists.

We then drove up to the horse shoe falls walked down a big hill and sat on the grass beside the river and the falls (really it is a weir) and had lunch.  While we were there a couple with 3 dogs who had asked us the way to the canal in the car park came up.  They had walked along the canal to the falls.

We then headed home…the NavMan, in its wisdom decided to take us the scenic route.  So, we found ourselves on narrow, steep, windy lanes going up over the hills.  Just the sort of driving Jude likes!!

About 1600 we went for a walk around the farm where we are staying.  When we walked past the paddock where the chooks free range, they all ran over to the fence and followed us up the lane.  When we were coming back past the farm house the old owner (79) come over so we had a long chat with him, his cousin and met his son (a sign writer).  He invited Jude up to see how the eggs are collected tomorrow morning (I wonder if that is like going to see the etchings?).
