Woohoo!
We've spent ages thinking about where to go for a romantic weekend away and have finally settled on... Cardiff!
Wales is, in my experience, wet. Most of the time. Rhod Gilbert - a rather fantastic out of breath stand up comic - plays on his welshness saying "I was eight before I realised you could takew a cagoule off!" Well, I've only spent a few days in Wales and I got soaked on every single one of them.
So why go to Cardiff? My husband suggested it - he'd found a boutique hotel owned by John Malkovich that he wanted to go to.
Actually we're not going to stay there now, in the end we found somewhere by the bay that better fitted our needs.
But Cardiff itself now has the most effective tourist advertisement available - Doctor Who and Torchwood are filmed by BBC Wales in and around Cardiff. We've seen some very beautiful places, we've seen Roald Dahl Plass and the redeveloped waterfront at Cardiff bay, the castle, Bute park... and there's a Doctor Who exhibition too.
So it's a bit of a geek's pilgrimage.
And I'm so happy!
