First Stop, Raglan Castle

First stop today with Mom was Raglan Castle. The stop was two-fold. (A) she really wanted to see the castle and (B) we had a mission to accomplish on behalf of the Raglan Faire Autocrat from 2008 . . David.

Raglan is beautiful, there is no doubt about it. Additionally, the cat was present to meet us on the front lawn so who could ask for a better welcome . . although I think he/she was a little confused that I didn't immediately start setting up canvas and bed for he/she to stay dry and comfortable.

We took our time touring the castle (after all there are so many little details to see) so that Mom could get a true feel for the place. I also showed her the very spot where David proposed to me Sept 9, 2006. Needless to say, he has the best ways of creating memories that last.

Surprisingly enough, the weather in Wales was cooperating and we saw sunshine and very little wind so we were not feeling too cold or damp as we toured this CADW site.
