The Little Airships Dayout

[Derek]

Fri eve our friend called around and I waisted no time in her meeting our little friend


The next day before it was light I was packing the little airship with my guitar. Today we planned on going for a nice long walk and a bit o christmas cheer at the end of it with a sing song.


Soon we were on a bus heading to town

[Derek]

Our meeting place was a wetherspoons pub by the millenium stadium. The coffee is much cheaper there than the coffee houses around town ... a few of us introduced the little airship to these


Then as people arrived they all wanted a shot with our friend

[Derek]

It was tipping down with rain but we stopped for a quick pose with our little friend at one of the entrances to the Millenium Stadium


Soon we were drying out and on the bus to Merthyr Tydfil


When we got there it was still lashing with rain so we spent the hour wait for the hopper bus to take us to the mountains in yet another wetherspoons ... the little airship was introduced to this


This was the young lady who served us ... she was from Glasgow and going back home for Christmas. She said my Cilt made her feel very homesick and was really pleased that I had it on. She was only to delighted to have a pic with our friend


Theres was a pic on the wall about Joseph Parry .. I havent done it but I guess for anyone who would like to know more about him it will be on the net somewhere






As we were finishing up the rain stopped


And finally on the way out I was stopped by a lady whos husband was at the bar and showed me his St David tartan cap ... I took a quick pic

[Derek]

Then we were on the next bus stop with our little friend


40mins later we were off the bus and walking


The reservoir was overflowing .. we have had so much rain the last few days

[Derek]

We then took off over the dam and for a nice walk

[Derek]

We built up a hearty apertite and then got to here




Our little friend was expected

Looks like an evil plot from one of DaveDove's stories. Glad the airship Saltire made it out safe.

Thanks for all the wonderful pics. It's good to see Wales again. I proud to have some Welsh ancestors.
