Mothers Day lunch at John and Ida’s in Pontypridd with my mum was excellent.

Claire left after lunch for the drive back to Marham, unfortunately it was a very long journey due to traffic jams and accidents but she did see Jeremy Clarkson in his Ferrari on the way!

Claire went to Llantrisant this morning to buy a very large bag of strawberry sweets. 🙂 We had lunch at the Muni Arts Centre in Pontypridd, a little shopping and a stroll around Ynysyngharad Park. We called in to see my Mum on the way back home and David and Hannah called in for a flying visit.

Claire left at around 5 o’clock for the long drive back to Marham 🙁 it’s been lovely having her stay with us again.
