...and a delightful visit to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School in Port Talbot.
I travelled late at night, and had booked in to a b-and-b where there was a lovely welcome - a glass of sherry and some chocolate waiting for me in my room as a bonus,a hot shower, a comfortable bed, and in the morning a delicious breakfast...my fellow-guests were all enthusiastic cyclists, who were to spend the day as they had spent the previous ones, riding gloriously in the mountains. We all tucked in to bacon-and-eggs with enthusiasm, and I felt a bit feeble simply scurrying off to a school as they set out plans for a mountain-day in the rain...
St Joseph's is a lovely school - children's voices chorusing "Good morning!" in Welsh, and singing cheerfully together. It was a delight to be giving out the prizes for the ACW SChools Project, and the children were absolutely charming. The Sign of Cross is beautiful in Welsh.The school wins lots and lots of trophies for sports and these were all being presented too, and two little girls showed the medals they had won for dancing. A friendly chatty time in the staffroom - most useful to get ideas and feedback for future Projects.
The great hills rising up beyond the town, all misty with rain as I was drawn back to London by train...
