Looking forward to hearing them Brynle, As an old hill-walker and a bit of a conservation bore it always used to annoy me that there was a caf on the top of our highest peak. But I suppose I was damned glad to use it on a couple of occasions, especially after 'doing' the Crib Goch arete. Hope they've done a good job of the refurb.Heres a news article from the Independent for anyone who's looking for some background:- http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/makeover-for-highest--slum-in-wales-1690633.html

Yeah the docks are Cardiff Bay now. Still no amount of nostalgia can disguise the fact that the redevelopment is one hell of an improvement ( for the most part ). I used to live in Penarth Rd ( town side of the bridge ) ....back of the Brains Brewery and Railway Station. My place was a two storey apartment in a corner property in the last Victorian Terrace in Butetown. One of the attic rooms still had hooks hanging from the ceiling where joints of meet ( or maybe veggies I dont know ) used to be hung prior to sale in the corner shop downstairs. Great on match days....5 minute walk to the stadium...door to door pubs all along the rote in St Mary St. I miss that place.

I used to run half-marathon distance between Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch up the riverbank along the Taff. A distance of about 10 miles I think but I'd always throw in a few circuits of Pontcanna Fields to make up the distance.. That was a few years back. Doubt I could manage more than 3 miles now but I miss it and one of these mornings I'm gonna dust down an old pair of trainers and get back into it.Ive had that sensation you describe once or twice....the hair standing on end. Happily I plan to get back home this year, probably September or October. Should afford some temporary relief for the 'hiraeth' .

Heres Texas generally http://americymru.ning.com/profiles/members/?q=Texas and heres TX:- http://americymru.ning.com/profiles/members/?q=TX Certain amount of overlap and I know Texas is a big place so some of them are a long way from Austin. Anyway hopefully that will help some.
