Changing plans

Just the usual Friday routine of a visit to see M and the big weekly shop in the Co-op. I may or may not be meeting our daughter A in Builth Wells tomorrow. The meet up was supposed to happen last Saturday, but A had a headache on the Friday and Saturday was forecast to be one of the hottest days of the year. We therefore postponed to the following Saturday, i.e. tomorrow. Unfortunately our granddaughter has a bad cough and runny nose, so we're considering abandoning the idea. We've booked an apartment to stay in Cardiff in 4 week's time, so the Mid-Wales meet may not happen.

I messaged A about cancelling, but I'm waiting to hear back.

A new plan!

I wasn't really feeling like a 2 hour drive to Mid-Wales, but we now have a new and better plan. We will meet our daughter in Shrewsbury on Tuesday. We'll travel by train, as will A. We'll meet and have several hours to wander about the historical bits and walk by the river.

It is rather ridiculous that it's easier to meet over the border in England, but there are no trains down the middle of Wales and the buses are slow and infrequent. This will save both me and A from some tedious driving and still allow us to meet and have a good catch up. I've already booked the tickets using the Transport For Wales app. :-)
