Wales/England; England/Wales

[deliasherman]

(Written September 9 & 10)We've spent the last two days dipping in and out of Wales, sometimes several times in the course of a single drive. According to the map, there was one road we drove where the left side was in Wales, the right side in England--which accounts for the bilingual signs on my side of the road

We stopped at Tintern Abbey on our way from Bristol to Hay-on-Wye as well. I found it very beautiful, though I'm not much of a Wordsworth fan, so I now faunch to see the one you found even more beautiful. The last time we were in Hay, we were there for Jo Walton's wedding which was such fun! There was the wedding, and parties, and books, and even a couple of program items, just like a con. One item was where we showed off the best of the books we'd found to each other. Hard to believe that was 10 years ago!

Your comments leave me caught between envy that I'm not there and joy at being able to share this vicariously :)

Walking deep in the valley of the shadow of parenthood, I adventure by you vicariously.

Apologies for the deluge of messages, but Kington? You were five miles from my parents. That is slightly surreal.

Oh, I love Llanthony Priory! (That's where I took the photo that became this icon.) And it was particularly lovely to read this entry today because you're describing exactly the area we're moving to next month. We spent today going to our favorite place in Yorkshire with a guest and I was feeling really nostalgic and sad and wondering if we were doing the right thing by leaving this beautiful area...but then I read your entry and remembered how beautiful that part of Wales is, too. Thank you!

And I hope you continue to have an absolutely wonderful trip!
