St David's - Day 4

It had to happen eventually, we are in Wales after all, today it rained... all day.  However, we are British and were undaunted so, out came the waterproofs and on with the show.

We did tailor our activities to the weather.  The start of the day saw a full Welsh breakfast in town followed by a trip to the barbers for a tuppenny all off (me, not Keren).  We looked around a few of the shops and marvelled at how expensive outdoor gear is.  Then we bought and wrote postcards over a cuppa in the Grove Hotel.

It was then back into the rain to a couple a small art galleries before we headed for St David's mediaeval Bishop's Palace (one of the largest in Britain don't you know) where we learnt all about Bishop de Gower aka the 'Builder Bishop' and his impressive legacy.

We're now at home with a glass of wine and will be heading out later for dinner at the Cross Hotel.  Who cares about a bit of rain?
