Its in my diary but I'm not certain if I'll be there. We're awaiting a summons from my daughter in Cornwall so if that arrives for that weekend I'm stumped!

I'll keep an eye on things and if I can make it I'll post here once things are confirmed re Cornwall.

I've moved this topic to the Common Room now so that more people see it, and so more people can come along on Saturday November 17th . :)

I've just been called "Lovely" by a lady in Cardiff this morning on the phone ;D

It sounded a bit patronising to me though, I was ringing about a missing refund, and nobody contacting me about it.

I went to a motorbike rally there years ago.  Pronounced "Troyk Troyth", but spelled with lots of "w"s in it.  Haven't got a clue what it means if anybody can interpret.  The countryside was stunning, and the city centre wasn't bad either - we ventured into a couple of pubs to sample the local ale ;D

Hope you can both make it Swansea is a vibrant city. If the weather is kind a short walk along the coast will give lovely views and the Brangwyn Hall will make a nice backdrop to photographs or we can stand at Dylan's feet and look intelligent
Do hope to meet lots of lovely chatters.I promise not to say "Now theres lovely" once Subaru  ;D
