Cardiff was a bit of a side-trip in order to see one of my best writing friends who lives in Newport so I didn’t see much of it since most of my day there was spent tucked away in the Great Western pub having tea and lunch with Mik.
That said, it reminded me a great deal of Western Washington with the colder weather, rain, and beautiful green fields I could see from the train.
Well…
Western Washington plus a castle or two!
Pictured below is another familiar sight from Western Washington who kept me company (hoping for a piece of my breakfast no doubt) at the train station while I waited for the train to Oxford.

Swift travels and best wishes!
