The Rotary Crest for the club of Ludlow
The Castle at Powis, Wales
Justin and Me in Ludlow, ShropshireToday I travelled to Wales to visit the gardens at Powis Castle . Every single inch was gorgeous! My hosts are close with Justin's hosts, Grace and David, so we had Sunday lunch together at their home. It was interesting to see the differences between our table manners. They eat with their knives in their hands and the tongs turned down. The refer to a leg of lamb as a "joint." They have a variety of jellies they put on top of the lamb, including a mint one and red currant. We tried a British dessert called sticky toffee pudding and another called a trifle and both were delicious.
After a long lunch the Yorks took Justin and I to see a charming little castle here in Shropshire called "Stokesy" Then we went into the town of Ludlow and walked around to see the buildings.
The roads here are very narrow and winding so they tend to make me carsick. The sidewalks (pavement or footpath is how they say it) are small too. I went for a jog into town today and was terrified of getting run over!

British phrase of the day:
Donkey years=a long time
"That home has been here for donkey years"
OH! I forgot to show you the "continental" style of eating! Lol. I find myself doing this still. It is a much easier way to eat then having to put your knife down and switch hands. I recommend you adapt to it - you might bump elbows too much if you don't!
