So we are coming to the end of our Uk part of the trip and handing over our shiny red car today in Bristol then off to Paris.
Last post I see we were still in Ludlow. Well our next stop was in wales at Tintern, a sleepy little place on the Wye river in the Wye valley in Wales. We stayed at the Rose and Crown in a comfy room with a lovely view.



We got up and faced another English breakfast before heading down the road to see the ruined Tintern abbey which started in the 11th century and trashed by Henry early 15th century.
We decided we have come all this way so we couldn't miss a chance to visit more expats from Katommba so we headed off to Wooton under edge near Gloustershire to see Glendon and Catherine and their 3 children who we havn't seen in 10 yrs. 
We arrived and it was Eurovision party night so costumes had to be found.




Said our good byes and hoped it won't be another 10years before we see them again and headed for our cottage stay in Cornwall . detoured to Glastonbury and found a good coffee in the medieval town full of 70's dated magic shops!!!



Onwards to Henwood where we are staying for the next week in a converted barn. What a charming corner of the world.


We came here to visit Mark's daughter and 3 children. What a delight!!!
