I grew up in Brighton, have just returned from visiting the mother in Hove, and I've been to Cardiff.

I can fully understand why only foreign visitors would actually choose to holiday in either place. :lol:

Drought is rarely a problem in Wales ;)

I grew up there, and it is absolutely beautiful, but I must confess I only ever go if the forecast's looking good.

Foreign visitors have not made it to the mid Wales borders this summer. Pity, it's very lovely.

A lot of visitors from Sweden this year for the golf and Germany but so far no French this year.
It is better to remain quiet and have one think you are stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt....

The biggest mistake we make in life is thinking we have time.
