aysons and AB's at Cardiff

We purchased tickets for the Cardiff game, months ago, at great cost!!! They cost $35.00 to be delivered from London. We had been telling the postie, how important the delivery was. So on the day he delivered the tickets to our back door, he was all dressed in an All Black shirt, instead of his usual uniform.
We had a great week, took of on Tues, went to the coast, and spent 3 days cycling round Cardigan and Swansea. lovely places,and the sun shone!!
Cardiff was buzzing. The singing was great, 300 male choir and brass band led in by a huge Billy goat. The game was as expected, the Welsh team needed to have scored in the first half and nearly did. Thousands of kiwis everywhere, even ran into Blenheimites. We stayed at Newport and went in on the train, enjoyed the singing on that too. Was great to have lunch with Momo, a Japanese lass we had met 10+ yrs ago. On the Sunday we called on friends in Bristol, Margaret and I nursed together 40+ yrs ago.
Painting is our job of the moment!!, I'm the sander, old old window frames, unbelievable that they dont just replace the whole window.!!
We are walking , cycling around these parts thsi week, while the weather lasts. 3-5 degrees most days!!
