The weather has been perfect today. We carried on down the Wye Valley, surely one of the most beautiful parts of England, to Symonds Yat which has a hand pulled ferry which is the only way of getting from one half of the village to the other without driving a long way

Finally we crossed the border back into Wales (just) but still in the Wye Valley to visit Tintern Abbey - a victim of King Henry VIII closing all monasteries after he fell out with the Pope in the early 1500s

Tonight we're in a B&B in the middle of nowhere near Monmouth with a bluebell woodland view from our bedroom window

Blimey - that is serious!
I am hoping for an appointment at the end of May - but as an NHS patient, so treated like a second class citizen, it may be longer!
The brain abscesses are NOT a frequent occurrence or else this issue would be more widely known.
I hope you can get it resolved soon, for relief from pain, at least! :)

I left the mine with a classic Welsh Male Voice choir tune stuck in my head - it still is

Afterwards we went up on the Brecon Beacons. My phone battery went flat so no pictures, sorry.

Tomorrow we'll be back in England for Hereford and the Wye Valley. Both JoesDad and I have separate childhood memories of this area. In my case: my Dad leading scout kayaking courses, my Mum setting fire to a tent and Leeds United winning the FA cup final (I was a runner between a car radio and the river with score updates :D )
Love hearing about your experiences!!! :) :) :)

Good morning all. I slept like a log last night - something to do with walking long distances, hiking up a steep cliff and a lot of fresh air!

The weather is set fair again and we're headed for family territory today finishing with a visit to my aunt and uncle :)

But first... the seaside :)
