Can't beleive we're almost home! We have had some great adventures through Scotland and Wales, including a trip out to the Isle of Mull (from where Calgary gets its name) and the sheepy mountains around Snowdonia. We met a world-champion sheep-dog handler, Aled Jones, and saw how his dog Gwyn can collect sheep and move them where ever he wants. Sheepdog puppies were plenty cute too. We also went deep into King Arthur's caves, visited the slate mines and spent a day on the beach. Carnaerffon castle was also a great visit and we were very saw to have to say goodbye to Cyffdy cottage when we had to leave.
Travel tip: the Yout Hostel in Bath is full of mold. Don't stay there.
In London now, and have been to the RAF Museum, Hyde Park (where James clonked his head on the playground again), Tate British and Modern galleries and the Tower of London. Lots of good bloody stories there for sure.
Tomorrow the boys reach the promised Mecca of Legoland. We'll visit Deirdre's cousin Chitra on Saturday and hopefully get to Hampton Court Monday. We're loving staying in Jill's house, but wish she was there with us!
See y'all back in Calgary Aug. 1st
