We have been away for a few days in the caravan. Stayed two nights at The Quinta where our son once travelled to do the accounts. Had a sunny day in Llangollen and went on a steam train bringing back memories of childhood train travel.
We moved on to Ruthin where the weather was not so good but what a lovely little town. Just so happened it had a record office so of course I had to do a bit of sleuthing. What better way to spend a wet holiday. Thomas Jones who went to America in 1855 had a sister living in this area. I like to imagine he stopped on his way to catch the boat at Liverpool.
Denbigh Castle. Not such a pretty town as Ruthin but a cafe called The Glass Onion was good and had home-made as opposed to home-cooked food. We differ when it comes to eateries and almost decided to patronise different establishments. HoF thinks it's Just Food whereas I want An Experience at the same time, well occasionally anyway. He says my own cooking is so good that I'm not easily satisfied. I suppose that's a compliment.
And when the skies cleared that evening we managed a walk along a section of Offa's Dyke with 360 deg views. The same hills we could see from our caravan parked below. Must dash, just off to a few days in South Wales now.
