Exterminate.....exterminate.....
Had a fun time in Wales and saw a number of places including an exhibition of Dr. Who paraphernalia and props in Cardiff where much of the new series was filmed. Saw the Tardis - see picture of me entering - and a great exhibition of the Daleks taking over the world. We also visited Cardiff Castle which has a long and illustrious history and is reputed to be a place once inhabited by both Uther Pendragon and his son Arthur. The Castle was transformed into a Gothic fantasy by the eccentric architect Burges for the 3rd Marquess of Bute, who by the 1860s was reputed to be the richest man in the world. Within Gothic fairytale towers there are opulent interiors, rich with murals, stained glass, marble, gilding and elaborate wood carvings. We drove around Wales for a while taking in the beautiful countryside before we returned to London where we have been basically planning our trip to Ireland. We intend renting a car and going over by ferry so that we can see the countryside at our leisure. While we have been planning we visited the British Museum which has quite a collect
ion of artifacts from many different countries. In addition we have been having leisurely brunches in a number of places and have been enjoying the food, especially the hot cups of proper British tea.
