We had an awesome day with Maree’s X in-laws. Tom and Val really treated us to a great day showing us their local sights. Firstly we visited Tintern Abbey, then off to The Boat Inn pub. The Boat Inn is Maree’s favourite pub and it’s easy to see why. It’s very small with a beautiful river flowing down between hills of green. Next they showed us around Monmouth. Tom and Val have lived in the small town of Monmouth all their lives, listening to them talking about the history they have there was very special. Lastly we went up to a look-out with a spectacular view. The world is full of awesome people and it’s been our privilege to know two more.
Gillie was chasing information on her Mother’s cousin who flew Sunderland’s out of Pembroke Doc during the war. We walked into the Penbroke Heritage centre and Gillie spoke to the first guy, we were buying tickets from about what she was looking for and for the next 2 hours she had volunteers finding her info, calling other experts, etc. Gillie had a blast.

Some the sights of Cambridge. One think I didn’t know is that Cambridge University is actually a 31 colleges that are combined to make the university.
