    The first tent we went in had the owl sanctuary people .. so the girls wanted some pics with 'em






    Then in another tent there was a lady who looked after injured Barn owls but also had 2 albino ones. There are only 2 in the UK, which she had, and 14 in the world. She would'nt let us handle the one that she brought but allowed us to take some pics.
    Both elaine and myself felt really privellaged to have been able to stoke such a rare bird.

    Then the girls wanted to go back to the craft stalls to buy one or two 'bargains' they spotted. So Arwyn and me took off to a nice little hideaway


    Iechyd Da


    An hour later (and a couple of beers later) the others caught up with us ..


    The view of the town as we were approaching the station to come home


    And finally ... shattered, waiting for the train back ...


    Hope you enjoy the pics ..

    A Hooter Girl!!! Aye, we've got 'em here in the States, too!

    Their Buffalo Wings are quite good (which is why you so rarely see any buffalo with wings!)
