There are sheep, horses and cows everywhere .... we did pass thru a part that is the 2nd most polluted part of all of Europe according to Les...... coal mines and smoke stacks and pollution...
after that portion, tho, the green hills mesmerize you. it is mystical and sunny yet cold. you really expect a gnome to pop out and start talking to you. there is a magic in the air quite distinctive. If I had to choose some words to describe Wales, they would include sheep, daffodills (they are wild and sprinled all over), mysterious and magical.
we made a pit stop and had a fire alarm go off on our way up... the whole trip from southern England to northern Wales took about 3 hours and it was such a pleasant drive. Many pics on Facebook under Road to Wales
we have a rider in the car. it is called a TomTom and she (female voice trying to be very sexy and speaking ever so slowly) tells us exactly where to go " turn right at the next exit. go for 100 yards. turn left. you have arrived at your destination". and \les, who is the ultimate jolester, purposely takes a different route than she has suggested, just to take the mickey out of her (brilliant englaish expression, say what ????). Now you have an idea of my husband's remarkable sense of humor !! 
thats all folks..more tomorrow and pics tomorrow too.... did I mention the Welsh signs where dd means ff ?? So, Caerggidd or something to that effect , is Cardiff !!!!! and all the Southern Californians have no idea they are really in the UK - Cardiff and Birmingham and Manchester and many more names are a direct import...who would have guessed ....
