Llangollan Day 1


Woke to a warmish day with bright sunshine and blue sky. Went into the town bright and early for provisions. Most of the shop keepers here know the locals and seem to refer to them by name. Mrs Pugh, Mrs Hughes and Mrs Jones to name just three. Had a coffee and breakfast in a local cafe and visited a nice little green grocer who  had new Guernsey potatoes in which I couldn't resist.
 Met up with everyone for a trip on the restored steam railway to Carrog about 8 miles down the line.

 Carrog is a tiny Welsh station lying on the opposite banks of the River Dee to the village.


 The six of us had a short walk into the village and found the only public house, The Grouse Inn,  in the village where we had and a light meal. We got the train back but not before skimming some stones in the River Dee.





The steam railway trip was very pleasant with some nice views of the River Dee.
Had a cup of tea on the platform when we got back to Llangollan. Matt and Kerry and Emily and Chris left us and headed back home in Mat and Kerry's car.
