What's occurring?

If you haven't watched Gavin and Stacey, Barry Island might not be that exciting. It's loud, full of game arcades and fish and chip shops. The beach has real sand, that is soft, but grey, and the promenade has two pavilions and some brightly coloured beach huts. I would say that the crowd at Barry Island, was very different to that at the museums and historical sites.

If you are familiar with Gavin and Stacey, though, you may well find it fabulous.

We sat where Gavin, Stavey, Ness and Smithy sat.

While Andrew, Joss and Beth played games in Nessa's arcade, Toby and I walked up the headland.

We drove up the hill to Gwen's house, but she didn't ask us in for an omelette.

She can see the water from her house, though. We didn't run into Uncle Bryn, either, but the whole experience was lush. I think you can find Gavin and Stacey on Netflix if you aren't familiar with them. A binge watch won't take you that long.

On the way home, we stopped in at Lacock, a beautifully preserved, historical village that is used to film period pieces almost constantly. Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, Cranford, Wolf Hall and many more.

It's strange to think that people actually live there, in houses that are many hundreds of years old.

There is a chapel at the front of this church that was built in the 15th century. That's six hundred years old.....

We were too late to be admitted into the Abbey, so I am putting that on my list for next time.

We had dinner at the Red Lion, instead.

This is our fourth night in Wiltshire, and our eighth in England! Tomorrow we drive up to Matlock.
