Monday morning 29th March

Hi everyone
10.00 am Monday morning, Simon has set off in the pouring rain first visiting Porthcawl then onto Gowerton.
Friday evening took Murphy for a long walk around the lake (about the size of stover lake) and then around the grounds of Tredegar House, Had Dinner then we watched 3 episodes of The Office, had a good nights sleep in the knowledge that we were having a day of rest on Saturday.
Saturday :
Simon and I spent the day in Cardiff, Great city,Sunny & dry all day, went by bus, did some shopping then visited the Museum for 2 - 3 hours still only seeing a portion of the museum but saw the China and Porcelain collection and the Art collection (wonderful paintings).
Sunday :
Dry all day, drove to Porthcawl, found campsite, took Murphy down to Pothcawl Harbour (about 2 miles or so it seemed).
Lovely bay, lots of people but many parts of the front looked tatty, with rusty ironwork, rotten wood and paint peeling off giving the impression of no one having any pride in the place.
Funfair, Burger vans Stalls selling Holiday bits & pieces, Made me realize how nice Devon & Cornwall resorts are. I still enjoyed the experience.
Will write again this evening when I get to Gowerton(Camping Club Site)
Hello to Sandy, Alexander, Jane & Family
