Looks lovely TTS. That is a Welsh Tartan on the walls and the Welsh Highlands are the area around the Snowdonia National Park. The Welsh Highland railway is a beautiful day out. 

Snowdonia is unquestionably one of the UK's natural wonders. A bit drier would be good.

Sorry to gate crash the Cooler but I live quite close to Gileston Manor so I was interested to see your photographs. 

It's not that handy for Swansea though !

It took us about an hour from Mumbles and therefore an hour nearer home today allowing us to pick the dogs up from their kennels an hour earlier. 

We lived in St Athan for a couple of years and think the coast between Barry and Bridgend is outstanding. Don't like Swansea, though, or Port Talbot (can't imagine why not) but love Cardiff and, as a motorcyclist, love the valleys and Brecons. 

Yesterday we were in Swansea, South Wales at our nephew's wedding celebration. It didn't rain and wasn't windy! 

Stayed overnight at a place called Gileston Manor in what turned out to de quite a funky redevelopment of a 16th century manor house. 

We had the Highland Room (in Wales? I know!) and it was really rather nice.

Sorry to say it has arrived at SS ….we had one on the Whisper less than a week ago …. It was called it a Greek night, around the pool, with the nightly show and a Chocaholic desert table …. 

And people are concerned that SS is going downmarket? Whyever would they think that?

There have been White Nights on mass market lines for many years. 

SS is a mass market line now. 

Monte Carlo is an interesting place to visit. If you've got a spare half a hour.

Me neither.

Nor me. But then I was asleep on a sofa in the lounge at the time. 

I've starting painting pictures of the ditches around castles. 

Moats art. 

I've come up with a new drink for professionals who need fluoride with their caffeine. 

I'm going to call it Pro-Coffee-F

I trespassed on a policeman's property. I didn't realise it was cop land.

it’s not that kinda party ….. but just an innocent Bailey’s Banana & Cream, with a touch of Kahlua …. Just an icy calorie filled milkshake.

Phew!

was it a Pancras bone?

Shh. It was stolen from Buckingham Palace and now the King's Cross.

 ☹️a BBC around the pool is always welcome 🤪

Don't, whatever you do, Google "BBC at the pool"! 

Oh no! I left my beer mug on the barbecue. Now it's a burnt stein 

Apparently they've just found part of a composer's skeleton at a London railway station. It's a Mahler bone. 

As one woman who considered herself not a racist said at dinner one night:

"I don't have a problem with black people at all. But would you want your daughter to marry one?" 

I suppose it's inevitable that among 900 older people there will be some that can't see their own prejudices. Just ignore them.

You must be so proud of those dogs; they are absolutely beautiful.  And talk about shiny coats!

They are good dogs. The black one is now 8 1/2 and he is beginning to slow down. The fox red is 4 1/2 and she's the more spiky of the two. It's funny when we go somewhere new to them - the little one always looks to the older one and follows his lead. Thankfully, we can take them anywhere and they don't embarrass us. 

When it's nearly dinnertime and they're trying the Vulcan mind meld on both of us:

We have a hut for each season: four shacks. 

Are we done with the composer puns yet? We could make a list. 

I suppose without the puns this thread would unRavel. 

Our dog's always filthy. 

He's a messy 'un.

It takes us 60 minutes to buy our groceries. 

We call it shopping hour.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This is Rebeca Andrade. No one else in Brazil has as many Olympic medals as she!!!

She really was exceptional. Brasil should be proud of her achievement.

Is it free?

 

Jeff

No. Monthly subscription. It's handy, though because you can Bluetooth it to a sound system. Or in the car. Or even on a motorcycle if it has a sound system (which mine does not). 

Spotify. 

Problem solved

I spelt her wrong too - not Simone Byles or Simon Biles (she is definitely not a boy) but Simone Biles.  

That's autocorrect for you!
