[sydnie7]

You are killing me here Derek, would so love to get back to the UK but a big lottery ticket is our only hope. Fab piccies and give my regards to the Skirrid next time you're in (Inn?), we have wonderful memories of our two visits there!

[Deil the Yin]

Mmmmm... makes me pine fae the auld sod! And nae a wee bit droothy... Nice piccies, too.

I love these pics. Thank you so much! I would love to get a drink in one of these places. Wonderful environments to hang out in.

[Derek]

Yes, it is the Bush Inn. That pic and the one below were taken a couple of years before the fire there.


And after the fire ... doh ... it breaks my heart just looking at this.


After a considerable period the pub was restored back to its former glory and is once again open.

KCW ... It would be fantastic for us to meet up again and see you all. Roger and Jean often ask after you and the girls.

Nice photos. I've been to the Skirrid Inn; many years ago my group popped in for hot food whilst we were doing our Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award.

I grew up in Barry and have been to the Blue Anchor several times. My friends preferred the Fontygary at the other end, or the Green Dragon.

[Derek]

SR ... its been many years since we have been to the Fonty and have only been a couple of times to The Green Dragon where they used to do a cheap cooked dinner 7 days a week in their cavery. Thanks for reminding me about that one ... will go and take a visit there soon and post some pics.

Thanks Derek ... fantastic pictures of beautiful places. I too hope for a lottery win, but will probably have to scrimp & save for a 25th anniversary trip to the United Kingdom. A couple of years away still, so there is hope ... thanks again for the inspiration.

Cheers!

Wow - you are a one-man Welsh Tourism bureau. Great pics.

[Hamish]

A great set of images there Derek - bringing back some very happy memories.

Love the look of a real pub. A great place to relax.
Is that Hamish in front of the Angel?

Indeed it is, my friend, and here is a view of part of the interior:.


Here I am playing the part of 'mine host' at The Red Cow .........


And, whilst on the subject, here are Derek and me at the bar in the Tredegar Arms .......


Looking forward to some more of these one fine day, Derek!

Take care,
Ham.

Elaine and myself, Arwyn n Dot and the rest of the gang are looking forward to it too Ham.
