A very nice gentleman in south Wales, UK, ran across my blog doing a random seach (in this case, “vestry stick,” and not only was kind enough to enjoy a post I’d written about evangelism, but to blog about it and send me a note that he was doing so.
Have I mentioned lately how much I enjoyed south Wales during our visit to the UK a few years back (including taking in Easter services at a small Church of Wales parish — boy, can those folks sing)?

Where in South Wales did you visit?
What what was your favourite part of the UK?
Sorry to be inquisitorial!
We stayed in a B&B in Brecon Beacons National Park, north of Cardiff. Near Abergavenny, I think (at least the name is still familiar). From there we visited such highlights as … well, Cardiff, of course (wonderful artist co-op there), St. David’s, and the hauntingly lovely Tintern Abbey. We were in south Wales for four days or so.
We also spent some time in the north of the country. Overall, given any place in GB to revisit, I’d spend my time in Wales.
Since you enjoy Wales, you might enjoy my recent visit to Caldicot castle – 3 pages of pics and history up 🙂
Cool — thanks.
We shot several dozen rolls of film during our trip about the UK. One of these days …
I had the pleasure of being stationed in East Anglia for three years. If you ever have the opportunity, try a visit to Scotland. The isles are incredible. My better half and I did quite a bit of traveling and Scotland still sticks out as an incredible place.
Margie and I were in the UK for three weeks (as part of the promised “Before we have a baby, you are going to take me to Britain” commitment I made. We spent a few days in London (been there, had done that), spend several days in the West Country — Somerset and Cornwall — some days in south Wales, some days in north-central Wales, then just under a week up in Scotland. The latter we stayed just south of Inverness, in Aviemore, and did touring up around the Highlands, with special attention to various distilleries (Margie’s cuppa, not mine) and with a “side trip” to the Isle of Skye.
Scotland was lovely, and I certainly wouldn’t mind a return visit. It was just a bit more difficult to get around in.
