Hi to everyone over the Atlantic

Have just done something completely mad this weekend and we've bought a little narrowboat on the Welsh Canal near Abergavenny - the Canal is a 35 mile stretch of beautiful waterway from Brecon down to Pontypool and she is moored at a Farm with about 10 or so other boats. The canal is full of wildlife including a lot of sheep and lambs watching us and is absolutely idyllic.

Can't wait till a week's time when we take her out for our first 'cruise'!

Will let you know how it goes......

Has anyone in the States been along this canal at all?

Hi All

Thanks for your warm welcome from over the water. Tis warm & sunny in Cardiff today and everything's growing like mad in the garden here. Cardiff is still recovering from Cardiff City Football Team losing their Play-Off Match to get into the top championship league - but our Rugby Team (The Cardiff Blues) won their first European Trophy in France the next day! No I'm not sports mad in the least, just patriotic....

Am beavering away on my website Discover Cardiff and taking time out for a cuppa tea and a look at AmeriCymru. Am also looking for ways to trace an American student who lived with us for 9 months back in 1985ish - her name was Amy White and I last heard from her when she was living in Colorado in 2002 and then lost touch as we moved & she moved. Any ideas anyone? You never know, she may be a member?

Anyhow, good to be in touch again with some new American friends. Bye for now Wendy
