South to Bath

Aberystwyth - Glangrwyney- Bath - Lower Langford 

Specsavers came to the rescue for fixing Harvey's glasses this morning.  Harvey's type of frames that he ruined in yesterday's accident has been discontinued, but Specsavers had one last pair left and had not yet thrown them away.  Lucky for Harvey.

We headed off this morning bound for our hotel near Bristol Airport, specifically a place called Lower Langford.  Our route took us through Rhayader to a place near Abergavenny called Glangrwyney where we stopped to have lunch.  

We crossed the Severn Bridge and into England, eventually arriving at Bath, a place of old world charm, exceptional architecture, pretty parks, and Roman baths dating back 2,000 years.  The actual Roman baths cost £14 each to enter, and, as I recall from the 80s, it's a bath no bigger than a small swimming pool., and not worth the cost.  You may as well visit Rome.

We arrived in Lower Langford and checked into our hotel.  For dinner tonight, I had Pheasants Casserole.  The dish was very satisfactory, apart from the inclusion of a piece of shrapnel from the bullet used to kill the pheasant.

The Bell Inn inGlangrwyney , where we had lunch.  Harvey climbed onto a stool at the bar.
