Hwyl fawr Caerdydd (goodbye Cardiff)

Today I say goodbye to Cardiff (albeit temporarily as I'm coming back here on Wednesday on the tour) and to Laurian and Rhys, and their families, who have all been lovely to me. I had a day or so on my own so wandered around the city, went to the museum and gallery and, of course, the shops. While i did say I wasn't going to do any shopping I did manage to buy a small scarf at Vivienne Westwood (it was the cheapest item in the shop!). I also managed to squeeze in a play at the New Theatre, 'The Woman in Black' which has been running in the West end for 17 years, it was great and a little bit scary. The wedding was fabulous, I'm so pleased I came to represent Laurian's ozzie friends. we started at 2.00 with the formal ceremony with about 80 people in attendance, everyone was dressed in black and white which looked really good. This was followed by drinks then an early dinner along with speeches and the cake cutting. Then at 7.00 the party started and another 60 or so people arrived and danced and drank till about midnight. The Welsh know how to throw a party!! I've loved being here its a gorgeous city and if you are in the UK you should definitely include it in your plans, especially if you are fan of the Doctor. I'm looking forward to London as I haven't been there for over 20 years!
