It’s been a while since I went anywhere, to be honest I think John and Maria have been deliberately sneaking off without me. Even when they took me with them they left the computer behind so I couldn’t post.
When I heard they were off to Wales to visit Claire and go to something called Wonderwool Wales, I must admit I wasn’t very interested. In fact I was surprised John wanted to go. However I found out what they were trying to keep from me is that Wonderwool was combined with something called Mid Wales Mouthfull!!! Tastings of chocolate, cider, beer, cheese, puddings etc. etc…. and they weren’t going to take me!!! I was totally prepared to put up with a bit of wool and a few sheep for all that.
John has recently had a new car so the drive over was lovely. We went straight to the Royal Welsh Showground in order to meet Claire there. Even though we phoned her from home before we set out and she only had to come from Swansea we got there wayyyy before her. John wasn’t staying so he dropped me and Maria and then swanned off. So of course I had to hold the fort and listen to Maria eulogising about wool and colour and texture….(zzzz..).
At least the sheep, alpacas and angora rabbits were fun to look at.
When Claire arrived at least I could take a back seat as far as the wool was concerned. I did enjoy tasting the cheese and the puddings. They wouldn’t let me try the cider or the spirits, something about me being too young.
We hung around until the bitter end, they almost had to kick us out, but at last we were on our way to Swansea.
Then of course they dropped the bombshell. We’re going back again tomorrow.
