A memorable two weeks

Well, that was one of the best non-holidays I've ever had.   The weather was fantastic: wall-to-wall sunshine every day; the Welsh scenery was gorgeous, all the spring flowers out in their full glory.   And - everywhere was so quiet!   It seemed to take a lot less effort than previous years, too.

The only slight problem was the lack of accommodation, cafes, or even the ability to visit Wales.  Of course, I didn't go, but I did think every day of what I was missing.   Whenever you're ready, Wales ...

Postponed

As I write, I should have been on a train from Twickenham to Swindon, on an intricately-designed journey back to Fishguard to continue my journey around Wales, taking maximum advantage of Advance Single fares.   This is not going to happen just now, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.   Current advice is to stay close to home, and tourist visitors to Wales are banned.   In addition, youth hostels, campsites and many cafes are closed, so it wouldn't be a great idea.

The Adventure Awaits

I have been looking forward to the South Wales coastal route for over a year now (although: the Pembrokeshire hills, not so much).   It'll still be there whenever I am able to resume.   See you then.
