England -> Wales : We have arrived.

 From Cheltenham to Wales, we traveled every "off the beaten path" road that more accurately resembled a single lane driveway. There was no passing, no parking and definitely no road markings. Every curve was blind and every summit without visibility was a gamble. It was character building and sphincter toning!

We stopped at a farmers market of sorts. Bought the cookies and cherries, ate the Welsh ice cream.

We braked for farm fresh eggs with an honesty box too. £1.50

There was a picnic on the back of the car at a intersection - rye and charcoal crackers with blue cheese. Cherries and gooseberries, cookies dipped in chocolate. Hello!? Amazing. Farm animals everywhere.

The goal was Lake Vyrnwy at sunset. A drink on the deck of the Hotel and Spa then a wander along the bridge - which was also a dam, I think. Bits and pieces of Welsh history/English history in the land as old as time.

Mark found us a ol' pub/inn at Ruabon and we were upgraded to the Bridal Suite for whatever reason. 

It was Sunday and that means Mark got his introduction to traditional Sunday Roast at the pub. Complete with Yorkshire pudding and beef that passed medium-rare at least 20 mins before it was pulled from the oven, it was super British and that's why we are here!
