    Speaking of Ricky Gervais, there is a film starting on tv with him as the main character. Ghost Town. Never seen it.

    If you're into history, try Kilpeck Church, about fifteen miles to the north of Monmouth. Arguably the best medieval church in the country, with a remarkable collection of 12th-century carvings, including this charming dog and rabbit

    Got a book on wild swimming, somewhere(!), will try and find it and report back.
    Thanks for this. It makes the trip even better if we have some unusual local things to look out for. I certainly would never have thought of this church, but am now a little intrigued! And what about the best place for bara brith? We had it a few years back in Dolgellau, and my partner can still salivate from remembering how good it was!
    I am not young enough to know everything.

    Hi there - I've just been looking around and thought this was very, very amusing, from an American website from, yes - over a year ago - it doesn't take me long to catch up does it?:rotfl:

    http://lifehacker.com/best-buy-and-target-will-match-online-prices-with-some-509083761:

    One of Target's exclusions says "prices that only display on a website after guests log in". In my experience a lot of the lower priced Amazon stuff wont show you the price unless you add it to your cart, and you can't do that as a guest. F'ing lawyers.

    I also second this church. Unusual places I can recommend are Puzzlewood Forest, Chepstow Castle, Raglan Castle and the stunning Symonds Yat (off of a dodgy steep single track, 2 way road, but worth it!). If you like caves, Clearwell caves are about 2 minutes away from Puzzlewood. Regarding shops, Monmouth is your best bet. If you feel the itch for a glitch, Chepstow has a decent Ts :rotfl: Hope that helps.

    Have fun! Good morning all :)

    That is spooky you mention the avatars as I only noticed and was thinking earlier both of ours were hearts and similar. :o

    I didn't realise that when Snap picked mine. But they really are tiny shoes in mine. :D
