Making Friends with the Locals
Visited a fairytale-like castle today, the kind you would imagine in a storybook. It was lovely, had an audio tour and someone just happened to be getting married while we were there. As we were leaving, the father was walking the Bride up the castle stairs. Can you imagine?!! After the castle, we ventured into Cardiff city center to walk around a bit and get some ice cream, as I had promised the kids. Then it was back home for dinner in our local historic neighborhood pub / restaurant. Such an awesome place full of history and the owner was just lovely. We talked for quite a while and at the end of our conversation, I said, "you wouldn't happen to know where we might be able to hold a baby lamb, do you?". "Can you give me two minutes?", he replied. Back in one minute, he said, "Let's go!". And off we went to a neighboring farm to hold the sweetest, little orphaned lamb. How lucky were we!!
