Cardiff is such a nice city and easily accessible from anywhere in England as it's only about half an hour over the border. Yes! A Dr Who exhibition! It's not huge but is a lot of fun. Sadly, John Barrowman didn't choose that day to jump out at us from behind a Dalek! LOL. Off to see him in concert on Thursday. :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-74005658986184068312010-10-15T20:05:36.852+01:002010-10-15T20:05:36.852+01:00Cath: lovely photos! and I can't believe the...Cath: lovely photos! and I can't believe there is a Dr Who exhibition, wait until I show my daughter these pictures.

We've discovered Premier Inn's bargain rooms and stayed in Llanelli in July. While there we popped over to Tenby and loved it. Lovely little town. Of course Llanelli is very close to the Gower so we were able to see a bit of that too. <br /><br />Our trip to Cardiff was also a Premier Inn break and I can't recommend it highly enough. A lovely city with a lot to see and do. <br /><br />At the end of November we're off again... this time to Cwmbran, which will give us easy access to The Brecon Beacons.<br /><br />I don't know your part of Somerset all that well but my husband was brought up in Somerset - in the Chard area. And we're only 10 mins from the Somerset border ourselves.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-81883946103875753842010-10-10T13:27:52.061+01:002010-10-10T13:27:52.061+01:00Hi Cath,

Actually... am going with my daughter and grandson next month to take him to a Fireman Sam concert. lol. To tell the truth there's still a few parts of the UK we've never seen.<br /><br />Val: we were very surprised at how much Cardiff has to offer. And yes, park and rides are a brilliant idea.<br /><br />Kay: We went back to that cliffside walk a couple of times while we were there, just to enjoy the view. One time we sat and had a picnic lunch. Was so peaceful.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-59638023788605473302010-09-22T18:29:49.667+01:002010-09-22T18:29:49.667+01:00Cath, that cliffside walking path is very appealin...Cath, that cliffside walking path is very appealing.
