The day started when all in the veck household we're rudely awoken by the shrill sound piercing throught the house... "where's the f***ing sweetener?!". Once recovered we packed the car set off! (picking up a nanny and dropping off a dog on the way. After a few hours in the car we got to the red lion, car park seen above, and waited another few hours to not get some chips.

After a nice lunch we continued on our way.

Chirk Castle & grounds dazzled us with fabulous spring sunshine.
