Millennium Stadium - Cardiff Wales
Photos taken in Cardiff on walk to get our rental car
On the road to Rhymney we sat in traffic due to an automobile accident. Made us feel like we were home in Houston traffic, all be it better scenery.
Rhymney - 'Ye ole Mum's soil'
Stopped in The Cake Shop for breakfast/lunch run by two older Welsh ladies. Once we picked out our lunch sandwiches, we turned to look at their pastries and immediately noticed the Welsh cookies that I have made before. I mentioned that I had the recipe for those cookies (they called them Welsh cakes) but I had to wait until my Mum was in her 80s to get it. They both asked, as well as a lady who was a customer in the store, if my recipe stated that they must be cooked on hot rocks. I told them "Hmmm, nope, my Mum forgot to mention the rocks". This drew a huge round of laughter from all of them.

Mumbles
Stopped for a little, yummy snack
Asked this nice couple if I could take a picture of their dog. I mistakenly had the camera on video, and didn't realize, so you can view the dorky video below. They were sheep farmers until two years ago when they retired and moved to Mumbles. Their dog retired from sheep herding and moved with them.
